Be like Donald Elliott.
He took part in the NRD Recreation Exploration challenge by birding at our West Maple Rd. Elkhorn River access site. He snapped a pic and sent it in for a chance to win a prize. You can too.

FREE Colorado Blue Spruce seedlings for the taking. We have quite a few left over from Arbor Day & would love to find good homes for them.

They are outside in front of our office located at 8901 S. 154th Street (154th & Giles) at Chalco Hills Recreation Area. Happy planting!

Happy Arbor Day!

Students from Westmont Elementary are definitely celebrating. Each year the Papio NRD education team gives out seedlings & native seeds to students in celebration of Arbor Day. This year students took home Colorado Blue Spruce seedlings. Happy planting!

We had a great day at Ponca State Park during the Nebraska State Envirothon April 24! Congratulations to the Concordia Lutheran team from Omaha. Read more about this great competition: nrdnet.org/news/04-25-202…

Have fun and stay safe.

We love seeing the excitement when students realize they get their very own seedling to take care of. Thanks for sharing this pic and for the opportunity to teach the kiddos about natural resources. That smile is priceless!

We love teaching students about our natural resources!
As part of our Trees & Seeds program, our education team visited 3rd graders at Tekamah-Herman Elementary, where students learned about different structures of a tree & the importance of trees in our everyday lives.

Elkhorn Crossing Recreation Area will be closed for 2-3 weeks as crews install water and electric for RV site hook-ups (upgrades well worth the wait.)
Thanks for your patience.
