J. Sterling Morton said, “Each generation takes the earth as trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity as many forests and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed.”

Now is the time to reverse the decline of our community forests. We must restore our community forests to retain the many important benefits trees provide and enable Nebraskans to continue living “The Good Life” in the Arbor Day state. ReTree Nebraska’s ambitious goal of planting 1 million trees in Nebraska’s towns and cities by 2017 will engage communities, businesses, organizations, clubs and individuals across the state to restore their communities’ forest resources.

ReTree Nebraska is a cooperative effort currently led by the Nebraska Forest Service, Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, University of Nebraska Rural Initiative, University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Agronomy & Horticulture and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
