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. 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.

1:30 to 3:30 p.m. MT at the Winter Building in Hyannis (South Main & Morton Streets).

Walk-ins are welcome, but registrations are appreciated. To register at either location, call the Central Sandhills Area Extension Office at 308-645-2267 or email Bethany at bjohnston3@unl.edu to register. No cost to attend.
