LBNRD Tree Program Corners For Wildlife NE Buffer Strip Program Wild Nebraska

 

WILD Nebraska is a multi-partner private lands program administered by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. If you would like to restore or enhance wildlife habitat on your land contact a wildlife biologist in your area. 

 

WILD Nebraska activities are divided into four general sections: Grassland and Prairie, Wetland, Woodland, and General.  These groupings represent activities that may be utilized to accomplish specific objectives.  Inclusion in this list does not imply that a specific activity is universally beneficial.  Also, this list is meant to be dynamic and is therefore not all-inclusive. 

The Nebraska Game and Parks and the Little Blue NRD, through WILD Nebraska, will provide financial assistance in two broad categories:  Wildlife Habitat Development and Wildlife Habitat Management.  Development and Management activities are grouped by type (Wetland/Grassland/Woodland).  In addition, there is a General group of activities that are unique (e.g. food-and-cover plots).

 Wildlife Habitat Development and Wildlife Habitat Management Activities are the foundation of WILD Nebraska.  Transition Land Use payments and Access incentives may also be used to complement these foundational activities
