Thanks to the Trees for Nebraska Towns initiative, an effort of the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum and the Nebraska Forest Service, The City of Fullerton has received 3 trees for the City Hall & Library Beautification Project. These beautiful trees will add much needed shade in front of the Library and City Hall.
In an effort to stop the decline and increase community forest resilience, the Trees for Nebraska Towns program grants high quality trees for community projects, celebrations, and educational events promoting trees and fall planting.
The program goals are not just to plant more trees, but also to increase appreciation and awareness of the significant value of community forests in Nebraska. Special emphasis is placed on species diversity and higher impact projects, especially street tree planting and projects in neighborhoods of highest need.
The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum’s (NSA) Trees for Nebraska Towns initiative is funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust and the USDA Forest Service through grants received by both the NSA and the Nebraska Forest Service.
