A Love of Trees That Goes Way, Way, Way Beyond Hugging.

Oaks, Pines, Maples, Elms, Willows, Sycamores. Flowering Trees, Conifers, Deciduous. What Started as a Plan to Make the Empty Plains Welcoming to Settlers and Provide Shade, Shelter, and Building Materials Has Turned Into a Quest for Environmental Preservation - a Chance to Enrich the Earth for Future Generations.

Along the Way, What Became Known as Arbor Day Grew Into a Weekend-long Celebration. And Not Only in Our Own Community…arbor Day May Have Started in the Small Town of Nebraska City, Nebraska, but It is Now Recognized in All 50 States and in Many Countries Around the World.

Come and Visit Us This Arbor Day! Make a Weekend Out of It; Stay a Few Days, Visit Some Museums, Shop a Bit, See the Sights…plant a Tree!
