Dennis Adams said the purpose of the program is to provide communities with tree management planning and technical services. Thirty communities are currently participating in the program and at least 30 more have expressed an interest in the project, Adams said. Adams said benefits of community forest management became apparent in many cities after Dutch elm disease left communities almost without trees. In 1972, Congress authorized the U.S. Forest Service to aid state foresters in developing a community assis tance program, Adams said. Nebraska started its program without federal funding, but began receiving forest service funds one year ago, to provide services free of cost to communities, he said. When the program began all communities in the state received a letter alerting them to the program, Adams it Appearing through Saturday Nov. 5th Carroll's Country" One of our most popular groups.

State foresters then conduct a community tree inventory to determine size, number and species of trees, Adams said.
