Northeast Nebraska RC&D

Northeast Nebraska RC&D Northeast Nebraska RC&D serves the following Nebraska Counties: Antelope, Cedar, Dixon, Knox, Pierce, and Wayne. Please reach out at [email protected].

In 1962, Congress established the Resource Conservation & Development program within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to encourage volunteer, locally elected and civic leaders to plan and carry out resource conservation and development projects. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers the program and provides a project coordinator for each Council. Today, th

ere are 375 RC&D Councils across the nation, including Guam, American Samoa, Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. They serve more than 85% of US counties and over 77% of the US population. These Councils provide leadership and help people care for and protect their natural resources to improve an area's economy, environment, and living standards. Go to http://www.rcdnet.org/ for more information about the National Association of RC&D Councils. The RC&D program helps people in rural areas plan and carry out activities that increase conservation of natural resources, support economic development, and enhance the environment and standard of living in local communities. The Northeast Nebraska RC&D Council, which is 1 out of the 12 RC&D Councils that cover the entire state of Nebraska, develops programs and projects in the following areas:

More photos to look through from our Cedar County Vanishing Ghost towns bus tour.

Judy Carlson kept a full bus load of people entertained all day- from teaching us about which small Nebraska communities in Cedar county are considered Ghost towns, Vanishing towns, and thriving towns, to demonstrating grave witching at multiple locations. Her quiz at the end of the day really showed who paid the most attention, and she didn't make it easy as there was a lot to take in throughout the day!

Also, if you've never stopped at Nissen Winery to hear their Outlaw Trail presentation, we definitely recommend it! So informative and incredibly interesting to hear about the outlaws that spent time here in small town Nebraska, and even rest here eternally.

Now - can you guess which small communities in Cedar county Nebraska would be considered a Ghost town?

The Northeast RC&D Sponsored a tour of Cedar County's Ghost towns, Vanishing towns, Lost towns, and the Thriving ones. 9.24.25. The bus was full of history fans from around the region. Judy, our tour guide, told wonderful stories about the towns and gave grave witching demonstrations.

These photos are shared by our board member and awesome secretary, Lin Marshall Brummels.

If anyone wants to share additional photos they took on the bus tour, feel free to post in the comments, tag us, or send via messenger! Thank you all for joining in on an eventful day!
