Pledge Summary

With a population just over 55,000 people, the City of Apple Valley is a suburban community with a focus on being a great place to live through providing a safe, healthy, active community with parks to experience. Through a recent 2023 referendum, the City has been updating our Parks to provide better amenities and to enhance the natural beauty and vegetation of the City. The City is taking a keen interest in implementing more natural areas, with the first ever prairie planned for 2026. Large forest restoration is also occurring in our largest City park, which will result in a oak savannah like feel, that will provide habitat for our local pollinators and creatures. Through local plant workshops and volunteer planting events, the City continues to build up our natural habitats in both small and large areas to continue to help our native wildlife.
