Drought takes toll on eastern Nebraska oaks
State parks along Nebraska’s eastern edge are seeing dead or declining trees due to stressors.
Ash Hollow State Historical Park near Lewellen has reopened after minor flooding over the weekend.
Visitors should continue to use caution when entering park areas during or after rain events, as Ash Hollow is a natural water pathway for water runoff and drainage.
Questions can be directed to the Park Superintendent Tamara Cooper at tamara.cooper@nebraska.gov or 308-778-7708.
