Drought takes toll on eastern Nebraska oaks
State parks along Nebraska’s eastern edge are seeing dead or declining trees due to stressors.
Visitors to Fort Kearny State Recreation Area should be aware of potential closures and restrictions because of tree pruning and removal.
From Feb. 10-20, visitors to the park may be affected by work performed by Nebraska Game and Parks’ horticulture team. Its goal is to improve the safety and health of the park’s trees.
For more information, call the park at 308-865-5305.
