Join a virtual meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. CT to learn about Nebraska’s updated state wildlife action plan, which outlines conservation efforts and priorities for Nebraska’s most vulnerable plant and animal species.

The Zoom meeting will cover proposed updates to the plan, known as the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project.

Proposed changes include:

· Modified Biologically Unique Landscape boundaries

· The addition of a Biologically Unique Ecoregion that encompasses the Sandhills

· The addition of priority watersheds

· An updated list of species covered in Tier I and Tier II designations; 44 species were added and 53 were removed.

· The addition of a list of species that scientists and managers lack sufficient knowledge of to allow for a population assessment

· Expanded wildlife-based recreation and education sections.

The plan will be open for public comment Aug. 1 to Aug. 15 on the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project web page. Those submitting feedback should review the threats and conservation strategies for the biologically unique landscape (BUL) nearest to their location.
