Arbor Day Tree Planting
Wyuka Cemetery
The ceremony will kick off a massive tree maintenance and replacement program, adding scores of diverse species over the next several years. The multi-year program draws on funding support from the Nebraska State Forest Service, Lincoln Community Foundation’s Wyuka Cemetery Fund for Restoration and Maintenance, and the Wyuka Board of Trustees. A recent inventory of Wyuka Cemetery’s urban forest by the WHF found a need to diversify and underplant with new trees. Dozens of green and white ash infested with and vulnerable to the emerald ash borer are being removed and replaced. A few selected ashes will begin an on-going treatment plan.
