To celebrate, the Lindsborg Tree Board and the Kansas Forest Service will host an informational booth and tree care demonstration at the annual Arbor Day celebration on April 25 at Swensson Park.

3. Lindsborg Parks Department presents 2026 annual tree maintenance plan

LINDSBORG, Kan. — The Lindsborg Tree Board submitted its 2026 annual tree maintenance plan, outlining the city's goals for planting, maintenance and hazard tree removal. Parks Director Noah Flores said the forestry efforts will target locations such as Carlson Park, the downtown commercial district and the Välkommen Trail. The city will also continue offering a tree cost-share program for local residents.

4. City nears full employment with recent hires ahead of summer

LINDSBORG, Kan. — Lindsborg is nearing full employment ahead of the busy summer season, having successfully hired all seasonal staff for the Lindsborg Municipal Swimming Pool, the Lindsborg Golf Course and the Lindsborg Parks Department. City Clerk Roxie Sjogren announced the city also recently hired new police officer James Carter and new electric department employee Sarah Jenkins. The city is currently seeking to hire one additional police officer to reach full staffing across all municipal departments.

5. City explores selling former substation lot to neighboring landowners

LINDSBORG, Kan. — City Administrator Gregory DuMars was unanimously authorized to solicit purchase interest for a quarter-acre city-owned lot on West Columbus Street. The landlocked property, formerly used as an electric substation, currently requires city maintenance but generates no tax revenue. Because the site is only accessible via existing utility easements and lacks street frontage, the city will only field purchase offers from adjacent property owners.
