PILGER, Neb. (AP) — A utility is offering free trees to Pilger residents to help the northeast Nebraska town recover from a devastating June tornado.

Black Hills Energy set up a website where Pilger residents can apply for the trees that volunteers will plant in early November.

Roughly three-quarters of Pilger, which had about 350 residents, was heavily damaged or destroyed by the June 16 storm.

The trees from an Arbor Day Foundation program will be 5-feet to 6-feet-tall when planted. An online tool can help people decide the best place to plant the trees.

The trees offered include Bur Oak, Swamp White Oak, Northern Catalpa, Water Birch and Serviceberry.

Each resident can receive one free tree by applying online at www.arborday.org/blackhillsenergypilger .
