Roadmaps are defined for each Pillar and approach the areas of residential, business, city/government, and farmland separately.

Included here are plans for Outreach/Marketing and Financial Impact

(Scroll to the bottom for roadmaps and plans)

The roadmap contains separate plans that focus on marketing, financial impact, each pillar, then finish with an education plan

Before we break it down into many areas, there are some things to do to get things kicked off and create 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

• Use this as a living classroom

Achieve 501c3 Tax exempt status

• Get board of directors in place

• Get bylaws in place

• Define roadmaps

• Get donors for the large projects and advocacy

Develop social media presence

• Build website - communicate vision and action plan

• 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

 Map areas of Omaha - Spatial Analysis

• Urban Rewild Member properties that are transforming or complete

• Potential Government land that can be transformed

  • Rivers, creeks, water ways, NRD land, Right of Ways, road easements, and more.

• Determine priority neighborhoods and other locations that would have the biggest impact.

  • Define what focus those areas would benefit from

  • Reach out to local tree nurseries that may be interested in supplying trees and plants at a discounted rate, or donating.

    • Likely to partner with Urban Roots near Gretna Crossing.

    • Mulhall’s, Lanoha, Arbor Day Farms.

Determine what projects Urban Rewild Project will pursue at the beginning

• Assisting homeowners in planning and education so they can get started. Grow a network of example properties.

• 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

• Branch out to local regenerative or sustainable farms

• Business projects to begin the journey down that path

• Once established and considered viable, pursue City and NRD projects

When feasible consider branching out to other cities, starting with surrounding small towns
