Hello!
Did you know that the trees planted along our city streets do more than beautify our neighborhoods? They have have been proven to help slow traffic, calm emotions, reduce road rage, and improve a pedestrian's sense of safety and security!

The City of Des Moines's Forestry division is passionate about planting those trees. They are working to plant 3800 trees annually on public property or in the City's right-of-way — that "border area" between the street pavement and the adjoining property. 

We recently completed a unique project for the department and in the process were delighted to learn more about the great work they are doing.
Branching out with help from Beeline + Blue

Top right:: the TreeKeeper website holds an inventory of every public tree in the city of Des Moines. Through the site we learned the trees recently planted in front of our offices are Little Leaf Linden, Thornless Honey Locust and Japanese Lilacs! It even accurately recorded a stump!

Center: We created a series of tree tags for newly planted trees for the Forestry department. Tags are grommeted and printed on weather-resistant stock. They each carry a QR code to learn more about the Tiny Trees program

Bottom right: According the the TreeKeeper site, city trees like these have an ecological benefit of over $5 million.
We helped the Forestry Department spread the news about Tiny Trees through QR sporting tree tags and custom wall graphics (above.)

Beeline and Blue was pleased to help The Forestry Department launch their new program: the Tiny Trees Neighborhood Program. Using smaller seedling trees, (which are known to outpace similar, larger trees within a few years) the department hopes to fill in some of the 14,000 vacant street-tree sites in the city. The department's tiny trees are quicker to plant, and easier for residents to maintain as they only need one half gallon of water a week through the summer.
