The Nebraska Forest Service recognizes those who contribute to the health and beauty of our community forest.  The Community Forestry Awards Program recognizes these efforts in ten different categories:

  • Youth
  • Outstanding Tree Care
  • Educator
  • Community Enhancement
  • Business
  • Green Industry
  • Media
  • Utility
  • Legacy
  • Volunteer

Download an explanation of each award and nomination forms.  Awards are presented annually at the Nebraska Community Tree Conference and Tree City USA Ceremony that is held in Lincoln in early April.  The Nebraska Forest Service encourages you to nominate those who have contributed to the community forest in which you live.
