Missouri City has the distinction of being recognized in 2011 both statewide and nationally for the communications of programs and services it offers its residents.?The marketing of the City Forestry program was recognized with a Silver Award from the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers as the ?Most Creative Marketing with the Least Dollars Spent?.
Following City Council direction and utilizing the web site, Missouri City cable television, the citizen newsletter and social media, citizen meetings and news releases, the Communications Department spread the word on the ?green? programs in which citizens and businesses can participate. The award entry outlined the success of the forestry program with the help of citizen volunteers and businesses with the addition of 55 new trees to Freedom Tree Park, the beautification of Buffalo Run Park through a prairie restoration program, the addition of 200 trees at Independence Park and Sta-Mo Park that help control erosion and flooding and provide a habitat for wildlife, ?the creation of the Right Tree Trail at Ridgeview Park as a guide for planting trees below power lines and the Edible Arbor Trail where walkers, joggers and bikers can enjoy the fruits and nuts from the trees being planted there.
