(KTNC) - The Nemaha Natural Resources District Board approved funding for three projects through the District’s Urban Special Project program.
After reviewing the applications last week, the board approved requests from Nebraska City Lourdes Central School for native plantings, the Village of Panama for trail development, and the City of Tecumseh for pond renovation.
Some adjustments were made to the allowable practices for each applicant. The Lourdes Central School is also required to secure the sponsorship of a public entity to receive funding.
The total funding approved for the three projects is $25,000, which will be included in the NRD’s fiscal year 2014 budget.
The board also approved a request for the NRD to participate with the Nebraska Forest Service on an eastern red cedar control and utilization education project. There is no financial obligation for the district to participate in the project. The NRD may help with workshops and conferences that will offer options for dealing with red cedar infestations.
