“In 2015, kib launched a small team of urban naturalists to serve as seasonal employees for kib. These college students learned about planting and maintaining native plants in green infrastructure, such as garden beds designed to capture and filter stormwater. Since 2015, this program has grown to include habitat restoration along indianapolis waterways. Kib employed five college students as urban naturalists in 2017, allowing them to care for the environment, explore job opportunities, and meet professionals in green-collar careers. With leadership from the urban naturalists, kib removed over six acres of invasive species and planted about 3.5 acres of native plants, including 90 trees, 394 shrubs, and 5,409 perennials in 2017. Nearly half of those native perennials went toward the creation of a two acre monarch butterfly sanctuary along the urban wilderness trail in white river state park, the first to be designated a gold level (conservation champion) certified sustainable trail by the indiana wildlife federation.”
