When I consider what I could be proud of, nothing makes me feel better than the plants I’ve helped get planted. The trees that Bob helped me plant for my neighborhood association through a grant program. They were tiny, hopeful little things that are now becoming real trees that provide shade, shelter for wildlife and a healthier environment. Long after we’re gone, those trees will be there. How cool is that?

Our Impact In 2023
At the heart of our work is the mission to support communities throughout Nebraska when they have a sustainable landscaping or gardening idea, but need help accomplishing it. We work with their Green Teams to make a plan, coordinate the project and provide funding. From planting 10 free trees to multi-year green infrastructure installations, we do what it takes to Plant Nebraska for healthy people, vibrant communities and a resilient environment.

Once a popular landscape tree, Callery pear is now considered invasive and a threat to natural landscapes.
Planting new trees is always a great idea, but let's not forget about caring for the trees we already have in our yards and neighborhoods.
Creating a rain garden in your home landscape will help to utilize rain as the resource it is.
