In honor of Earth Day: Did you know if the use of cloth diapers

increased by just 1%, the reduction in waste would be about

the same as 14,200 households not producing any garbage

for an entire year?

Our Village is so proud to announce that we are now affiliated with the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Justin Evertson, Executive Director of the NSA states, "First of all this is the first time an entire community has been recognized as an arboretum. In a nutshell, an arboretum is a place to come and see and learn about trees. Under Bob Brandt's direction, dozens of unusual trees have been planted across the community in recent years. Species diversity is critical to the health of a community's tree canopy so Bob and his helpers are doing it right in Unadilla. The association with NSA will mean that an even greater variety of trees will be available for trialing in Unadilla. In that sense, Unadilla will serve as a test site and as a model for other small communities to follow. Our goal is to make Unadilla the most diverse community forest (of it's size) in the state." Congratulations to everyone involved!

Thanks to the Perry Stoner family for their generous

donation to the Unadilla Cemetery.

Condolences to the many family and friends of Benjamin

James Wallen who was laid to rest in the Unadilla Cemetery.
