Episode 78: Why We Plant Nebraska

February 02, 2025

The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum mission is to plant Nebraska for healthy people, vibrant communities, and a resilient environment. This week we're reflecting on what this means to us and why, when our jobs often involve more people and paperwork than plants, we continue to be inspired to keep planting. We truly have a wonderful team to work with and we were glad the whole NSA team and our community forestry partners at the Nebraska Forest Service we willing to share their stories!


In this episode we hear from:

  • Kendall Weyers, Sustainable Communities Coordinator
  • Brad Kindler, Sustainable Landscape Specialist
  • Justin Evertson, Green Infrastructure Coordinator
  • Michelle DeRusha, Communications and Events Coordinator
  • Chrissy Land, Western Nebraska Community Forester
  • Bob Henrickson, Horticulture Program Coordinator
  • Toby Burnham, Member and Affiliate Coordinator
  • Christina Hoyt, Community Landscapes and Forest Health Bureau Chief
