Omaha Plants 300 Trees for South Neighborhoods | Omaha News

Omaha’s south side is getting a major green makeover—with up to 300 new trees set to sprout along 33rd and L Streets, funded by over $363K in grants from Plant Nebraska, USDA, and UNL. This tree-planting push responds to neighborhood losses from storms or removals, easing the harsh sun for residents who’ve struggled to enjoy outdoor life. Carefully chosen species like oaks, maples, and hickories will thrive locally, while safety measures ensure no power lines or utilities get in the way. Residents like Josef Lopez see it as more than shade—it’s heritage and hope. And to keep things growing, the city promises to replant two trees for every one removed, boosting canopy coverage and healing the urban forest one leaf at a time.
