Nebraska's NRDs will be at the Natural Resources Hub (39E) during Husker Harvest Days September 15-17.
Nebraska’s NRDs are stationed with various organizations that offer conservation assistance, cost-share opportunities and producer programs. Attendees can visit with the Nebraska Forest Service, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), Nebraska Department of Water, Environment and Energy, Strategic Ag Coalition, Rainwater Basin Joint Venture, Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, The Nature Conservancy, Producer Connect, and Central Platte NRD’s Native Prairie and Pollination Awareness Program.
During the three-day event, Husker Harvest attendees also will receive a free blue spruce tree seedling from the NRD Conservation Tree Program. All 23 Nebraska NRDs administer tree planting programs to provide trees and shrubs for local landowners. Each district varies, but possible services include: planting, weed barrier installation or weed control, and drip irrigation. Free prairie grass seed will also be available as part of the Native Prairie and Pollinator Awareness Project.
