Nebraska Stories

Air Date: 03/19/2026

In Nebraska trees do more than grow, they tell stories. Near the Calamus Reservoir, a stand of trees forms the words “Sostad Forest.” Outside of Rose, a grove of cedars spell “Caskey.” Families like the Sostads and Caskeys planted their names into the land, knowing it would take years, a view from the air, to read them.
