9-11 a.m. Peru State college, “Campus of a Thousand Oaks,” is nestled into wooded bluffs off the Missouri River. It is home to thousands of oaks, hickories, maples, ashes, redbuds, ironwood and other wonderful native trees.
1-4 p.m. Nebraska City’s Arbor Lodge, High School Arboretum and other community sites. Many of the trees around Arbor Lodge were originally planted by J. Sterling Morton, so it’s a great place to see mature trees. The High School converted 7,200 square feet of parking lot into islands that provide opportunities to study ecosystems, habitat and species diversity.
