NSA Community Landscape Award Winners 1980-2007
In close partnership with the University of Nebraska and the Nebraska
Forest Service, NSA has assisted more than 150 Nebraska communities
with the care and development of public green spaces through the Community
Landscape Program since 1986. To date, this effort has provided a total
of over $4 million in funding assistance to nearly 400 projects. More
than just a granting initiative, however, the program also provides
information and technical assistance to better enable these communities
to use sustainable, environmentally-sound landscape practices in the
planting and care of public landscapes.
Community Enhancement Program
The Nebraska Community Enhancement Program (CEP) is a cooperative effort
of the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), Nebraska Forest Service
and Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. This program makes available federal
transportation funds to assist communities and other public entities
in Nebraska with the implementation of landscaping projects on public property that improve
the state's transportation corridors. Typical projects include trail
and street tree plantings, highway corridor improvements, and landscape
enhancements to community signs and entry-ways. For more information,
contact Sue Kohles at (402) 472-2212
or email skohles2@unl.edu.
