Under the NRD’s seedling sales program, tree and shrub stock is provided to District patrons at the lowest possible cost. In order to assure quality stock, seedlings are kept in a refrigerated state prior to delivery to the customer. Custom planting plans can be designed by the Forestry Department staff and custom planting can also be arranged through the department. Another program that the Forestry Department is responsible for is the “Community Native Grass Resources Program”.
The District cooperates with the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission and Pheasants Forever on programs to create and enhance wildlife habitat. Federal agencies administer habitat development programs including the “Conservation Reserve Program” (CRP), the “Wetland Reserve Program” (WRP), “Partners for Wildlife”, and “Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program” (WHIP). |

These sites provide habitat for wildlife and area residents can enjoy activities, such as camping, fishing, boating, hiking, as well as winter sports, skiing, sledding, tobogganing, snow shoeing, snowmobile riding and ice skating. |
