This award honors communities that excel in natural resource conservation, and the Memorial Garden has been acknowledged for its significant contributions to the region. The garden not only serves as a beautiful landscape but also provides hope and solace to individuals affected by cancer, fulfilling its mission as a tribute to cancer survivors, fighters, and those who have lost their battle with the disease.

The resolution highlights the dedication of volunteers who invest their time in maintaining and enhancing the garden, which features native and ornamental plants, pollinator habitats, and educational components that promote conservation. The Nebraska Legislature congratulates the Southeast Nebraska Cancer Memorial Garden for its achievements and expresses appreciation for its role in fostering community spirit and environmental stewardship. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Memorial Garden to commemorate this honor.
