Action Plan
Specifics on what we’ll do and how we’ll achieve it
**This page under construction**
For the whole community to reap the benefits of brining nature back to urban areas, we’ll need to target four areas; residential, business, City/Government/NRD, Farmland.
Some of the tasks will be the same for all of them, but for clarity we’ll outline separate action plans.
In this section, we’ll cover some of the things we need to do before any of them can get traction.
Start with one plot
Take a baren plot of land and transform it according to the pillars.
Use the Living Lab to do tests, experiments, and documentation to show how this is having an impact
Develop social media presence
Build website
Create pages on each targeted social media platform
Regularly update them as progress occurs
Create an education program
Publish useful articles and blogs online for people to access, learn, and be inspired
Host in person presentations and training
Material Purchase Planning
Determine Vendors and look for discounts
Reach out to local tree nurseries that may be interested in supplying trees and plants at a discounted rate, or donating.
Mulhall’s, Lanahoe, Arbor Day Farms. But start with smaller outfits. Near Gretna Crossing.
Determine what projects Urban Rewild Project will pursue
Street trees for neighborhoods, and how we will pick the neighborhoods that get them
Determine if we will do neighborhoods for free or mostly do planning and major discounts
Projects for low income communities
Start a tree farm
Look at buying a reasonable plot of land that could supply trees at a far smaller cost
Use this location for storing tools and supplies
See if this could be run by volunteers
Branch out to local sustainable farms
Eventually influence government policy (if allowed under 501c3 status)
If not, see if we can help people understand what impact this could have (if allowed)
Advocate for subsidies to go towards sustainable practices and reduce conventional farming support
Determine when it is feasible to branch out to other cities and countries
Get established locally. Community first approach
When receiving donations, have an option for local projects or global
Mostly focused on local community unless supporters want their funds to expand
Could consider branching out only when funds come from and stay in those communities
