Nebraska tree growers can help boost holidays – High Plains Journal
As the holidays approach, consider adding the beautiful look, wonderful smell and cheerful memories of a real Christmas tree to your home this holiday season. No matter what kind of Christmas tree you’re looking for, Nebraska tree farmers have your holidays covered. A directory of local Christmas tree farm growers is available on the Nebraska Department of Agriculture’s website at nda.nebraska.gov/publications/promotion/christmas_trees/trees.html.
There are environment benefits from tree farms, as well. While they’re growing, trees absorb carbon dioxide and emit fresh oxygen. Trees protect natural resources like soil and water, and they provide healthy habitats for wildlife. After the holidays, real trees can be recycled into mulch for gardens and parks, or they can be dropped into lakes to provide habitats and feeding areas for fish. Producers can be listed in NDA’s Christmas tree-growers directory, at no cost, by completing NDA’s Nebraska Christmas tree producer profile online.

Two hurt after crash at 14th & Nebraska Parkway
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Two people were hurt after a crash at 14th and Nebraska Parkway on Thanksgiving night.
First responders were sent to the intersection at 8:30 p.m. after a collision between an SUV and a pickup.
After investigating, Lincoln Police say a westbound vehicle on Nebraska Parkway blew through a red light and crashed into a southbound vehicle that was going through the intersection.
“The drivers of both vehicles were transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries,” LPD stated. “Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash.”
Police did not specify if it was the SUV or the pickup that was at fault in the crash.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue had to use tools to free the driver of the SUV in order to safely get them out.
Nebraska Parkway was shut down at 14th Street in both directions for just over an hour while the scene was cleaned up.
