Cedar trees are rapidly spreading across Nebraska’s 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! 

Workshops may cover the following:

• Project Spotlights – Real-life examples with before/after photos, costs, and cost-share info
• Pasture Management – How producers keep pastures cedar-free to maximize grass
• Cedar Biology – Understand how cedars grow/spread to choose the right control methods
• Prescribed Burning Tips – Keep your burn contained with guidance on slope, tree height, piles, weather, crew & equipment
