Ewing village receives tree grant

The Village of Ewing will receive 10 trees for the park project, after receiving a grant from the Ten Free Trees program, an effort of the Nebraska Forest Service and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum.

Village officials will plant trees Sunday, Oct. 2, at 2 p.m. Volunteer help is required to fulfill grant obligations. Village officials said equipment will be available to dig holes, so planting should go quickly. For more information, contact the Ewing village office at 402-626-7718.

The village’s ongoing project replaces old trees that are dying, adds shade trees and beautifies the park.
