City Leaders Planning for the Future of Community Recreation in Stow

In the last year, City leaders in Stow have taken huge steps to improve the community’s parks, recreation facilities, programs, and events. As part of that progress, the City of Stow undertook a Parks and Recreation Master Plan project. The project will provide a guide for Stow’s Parks and Recreation system for the next ten years.

The year-long process included a community engagement component which involved gathering input from members of the community through a statistically valid survey, an online community survey, interviews with community stakeholders, and focus group meetings. Existing parks and recreation users would like to see the city leaders make a more substantial investment in the system by making even more improvements and upgrades to existing parks, adding new community-based facilities that serve the entire community, and developing programs that connect with the community. The Master Plan establishes a framework and roadmap for the City of Stow to follow for future success, and identifies key goals and recommendations to move the City forward:

The Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative is calling on Ohioans for the 7th year of Milkweed pod collections!

This project started in 2015 as a 7-county pilot and for the last few years hundreds of Ohioans worked together to collect the seeds. Since the first year, the volunteers have collected approximately 5000 gallons of common milkweed seed pods, totaling over 22 million seeds!

Milkweed is the only host plant for the Monarch butterfly for egg laying and caterpillar rearing. It also serves as a food source for Monarchs as well as many other pollinator species. The disappearance of milkweed across the U.S. has contributed to the 80% decline of the eastern monarch butterfly population over the last 20 years. We are working hard to change this, and you can help! Let’s make our collection efforts in 2022 even better by following these simple tips!
