  • History of Nebraska Forest Service.Indb
    TONY FOREMAN The Unique History of the Nebraska Forest Forest ServiceThe Unique HistoryNebraska of the UNDERTAKING THE GREATEST erhaps forests and trees are not the first images one conjures when thinking about Nebraska.P Indeed, an old joke claims the Nebraska State Tree is a wooden football goal- post. Yet Nebraska has a unique forestry history. Pioneers of the mid-nineteenth century moved into what was popularly known as the Great American Desert, and they rolled the dice that this semi-arid land, seemingly incapable of sustaining trees, could somehow grow crops. After winning that gamble, the settlers yearned for the trees they had grown accustomed to in the Eastern United States. They missed the beauty of the wooded areas and the respite of a shade tree.
