CE: Virtual fall Forest Festival!

Monday, September 13, 2021
12:00 pm1:00 pm

This Friday NFS is hosting a virtual version of our annual fall Forest Festival! This is a great opportunity for students, Master Naturalists, and nature enthusiasts to learn about our agency and the work NFS does across the state. Throughout the day we will be posting online videos to our social media accounts and over the lunch hour we are hosting a live “Meet The Foresters” zoom event.

See below for more details, information on how you can register for Friday’s zoom, or how to participate in our #MyFavoriteTreeNE social media contest for Smokey Bear Swag!

Feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested in learning more about the Nebraska Forest Service and the tree-mendous forests that call Nebraska home.

Forest Fest Goes Virtual

Due to the increase in Coronavirus cases in our communities, the Nebraska Forest Service has decided to pivot Forest Festival Family Fun Night into an online, social-media based event. We'll have online tours, story time, and prizes to win - including a social media contest.

There will be a virtual Forester Meet N Greet on Friday September 17th from Noon to 1 PM CST. Join NFS for during your afternoon to meet Nebraska State Forestry Professionals, ask all of your tree related questions, and learn about the cutting edge forestry and research work being done both at Horning State Farm and throughout Nebraska by Nebraska Forest Service. The foresters will give brief introductions to their work via zoom with time for questions from attendees. Advanced Registration is Required.

As we approach September 17th, record a 20 second long video clip in front of your favorite tree or tree species in order to enter our social media contest. More details described in the video below.

We hope you can join us next fall for an in person Forest Festival at Horning State Tree Farm in Plattsmouth, Nebraska!
