It is truly an honor to live in Nebraska City, the Home of Arbor Day and to share a love of trees, conservation and environmental stewardship with leaders and many local and regional citizens.
As Nebraskan's prepare to celebrate the 141st Arbor Day, April 26-28, 2013, we want to extend an invitation to join us in planting trees.
