Did You Know!
One interesting fact about Nebraska is that it’s home to the world’s largest hand-planted forest. Located in the Sandhills region, the Nebraska National Forest covers over 141,000 acres and was planted by hand during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. This vast area of trees serves as an important habitat for various wildlife and offers recreational opportunities for visitors, making it a unique feature of Nebraska’s landscape.
