Nebraska has a proud history of planting trees. Since settlement, millions of trees have been planted in Nebraska. Arbor Day, an international holiday, was started in Nebraska. This tree planting tradition continues today. Each year, Nebraska’s Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) help landowners plant more than a million trees throughout the state.
All NRDs administer tree planting programs to provide trees and shrubs for windbreaks, erosion control, wildlife habitat and other conservation purposes. Each NRD program varies, but possible tree program services include: windbreak design, planting, weed barrier installation or weed control, and drip irrigation.
