SEPTEMBER 29-30, 2021 ASH HOLLOW FIELD DAY | LEWELLEN, NEBRASKA
Earn Up to 9 NAA & ISA (pending) Certification Credits. Valuable
training for all tree professionals!
Five organizations came together to offer a great line-up of educational
sessions and activities for the 2021 Ash Hollow Fall Field Day in
Lewellen, Nebraska. Ash Hollow State Historical Park will be the host
site for the Field Day event. Ash Hollow State Park is located 3 miles
southeast of Lewellen on U.S. Highway 26. Sweet spring water made
Ash Hollow State Historical Park a major stopover on the Oregon and
California trails and prompted prehistoric Indians to use it, too. Ruts
etched by west-bound wagons are still visible on the bluffs. Today, the
area’s beauty and sweeping vistas continue to make this area a popular
destination for vacationers and travelers. The history, archaeology
and paleontology of the area are interpreted at the visitor center, Ash
Hollow Cave and exhibits and structures. You will also be able to
connect with other professionals while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Park.
We hope you can join us for education and networking at the 2021 Fall Field Day. Early registration guarantees a FREE
event T-Shirt (register by September 1st).
