Cedar Workshop

Cedar Workshop- workshops to address the spread of cedar trees and control options.
Cedar trees are rapidly spreading across Nebraska grasslands, threatening valuable forage for grazing animals and habitat for wildlife. In some areas, grass production has dropped by as much as 75% over the past three decades due to cedar tree encroachment. The best time to control your cedar trees is now.
Gain insight from real-life examples of various cedar control projects, including before/after photos, cost of the projects, cost-share options, and how producers are maintaining cedar-free pastures to maximize grass. Understanding how cedar trees spread and grow will help producers decide the best control options to use. Learn how pastures recover after fire, and how wildlife numbers, like grassland birds, change based on cedar canopy. No cost to attend!
Walk-ins are welcome.
Location: Hooker County Community Center in Mullen NE, 36531 Fairground Road, at the Hooker County Fairgrounds, west of town.
