Please note: the Trees for Nebraska Towns program does not currently have funding available for new applicants.
Trees for Nebraska Towns is geared toward Nebraska community groups who need $5,000-$25,000 to improve their community forests with large-maturing shade trees and companion plants in public spaces. For projects needing less than $5,000, please consider our Ten Free Trees program.
