Member Appreciation Week: Tour of the RiverFront in Omaha

Image shows a mix of Queen Anne's lace and other grasses and wildflowers with park paths in the background.

Join the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum for a free, members-only tour of The RiverFront—Omaha’s newly revitalized 72-acre urban park system that includes Gene Leahy Mall, Heartland of America Park and Lewis & Clark Landing.

This tour will highlight the landscape transformation of this iconic area, which now features thousands of native plants and locally grown trees, all thoughtfully designed to enhance sustainability, support pollinators, and reconnect the city to the Missouri River. Explore areas of emerging prairie that offer critical wildlife habitat in the heart of downtown Omaha.

In addition, we will be welcoming The RiverFront as Nebraska Statewide Arboretum's newest affiliate site! Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a bold, nature-forward vision for public space and see how native landscaping is reshaping our urban environments.

This is a walking tour, so wear your comfy walking shoes and be prepared for Nebraska weather. We will be meeting at the Gene Leahy Mall Performance Pavilion.
