From 1:00 till 2:00 p.m., Graham Herbst of the Nebraska Forest Service will lead a tour of trees along Main Street, starting at the Missouri River and ending at the Whiskey Run Creek Winery.
Jane Andrew will then conduct informal tours of significant trees in Brownville from 2:00 till 4:00 p.m. The trees include some of the oldest or largest red elm, osage orange and pecan trees in the state.
