“Community forestry: in 2018, kib planted 4,002 trees in strategic locations throughout marion county, surpassing a total of 54,000 total trees planted by kib since 2006. Kib's customized mapping tool helped staff identify where trees might provide the most community, health, and environmental benefits, helping kib decide where to direct outreach and community engagement efforts; many of these trees will help capture stormwater, preventing sewage from overflowing into indy streams during heavy rains. Over 90% of the trees were native to indiana and surrounding states, with 2,000 of the trees planted classified as "giving trees" (trees that support 200 or more species of moths and butterflies). Nearly 2,300 volunteers assisted with the plantings, adding trees to neighborhood streets, schools, parks, and other public spaces.”

“Youth programming: kib's youth programs, greenkids (formerly kib clubs) and the youth tree team (ytt), engaged over 1,032 students in learning about and improving their environment. The 86 teens and college students in ytt played a vital role in ensuring the survival of kib's trees the first three years after planting. Ytt watered 6,855 trees weekly and pruned 6,078 trees, meaning the youth were responsible for watering nearly half and pruning about a third of the young trees in kib's care in 2018. The youth earned work skills certificates and participated in enrichment activities, such as learning financial management, visiting tree nurseries, camping, and going on college tours. Through kib greenkids, five elementary schools created after-school, nature-focused clubs where 3rd through 5th graders learned about their environment and helped build an outdoor classroom on school grounds; 95 students were enrolled in the after-school clubs, and kib engaged an additional 1,128 students through presentations and outreach at local schools and meetings of youth organizations.”

“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 10 college students as urban naturalists in 2018, 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 32.67 acres of native plants, including 83 trees, 124 shrubs, and 5,488 perennials in 2018.”
