POSTPONED – Nebraska Natural Legacy Project Public Meeting: Wood River

January 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Due to inclement weather, the Natural Legacy Project Meeting at Wood River has been postponed to a later date (TBD). Please stay tuned on Facebook and the Game and Parks Outdoor Calendar for updates!

 

Be a part of the process to update Nebraska’s state wildlife action plan, which outlines conservation efforts and priorities for Nebraska’s most vulnerable plant and animal species.

Public meetings for the plan, known as the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project, are scheduled across the state. Participants can learn about the plan and the science behind it, ask questions and provide feedback. The meetings will take place in an open house format, so attendees can move freely from table to table to learn about different issues.

These meetings, which are scheduled from 6:30-8 p.m., unless otherwise noted, will be:

  • Jan. 10 in Beatrice, Beatrice Public Library, 100 N. 16th St., 5:30-7 p.m.
  • Jan. 17 in North Platte, UNL Extension – West Central Research and Extension Center, 402 W. State Farm Rd.
  • Jan. 18 in Wood River, Crane Trust, 9325 S. Alda Rd.
  • Jan. 23 in O’Neill, Upper Elkhorn Natural Resources District, 301 N. Harrison St.
  • Jan. 24 in Norfolk, Lower Elkhorn NRD, 1508 Square Turn Blvd.

Refreshments will be provided.

The Nebraska Natural Legacy Project is part of a nationwide effort to address the needs of declining wildlife populations. More than 700 species have been identified as at-risk in Nebraska. The plan initially was published in 2005 and updated in 2011. Its next update will be released in 2025.

The mission of the Natural Legacy Project is to refine and implement a blueprint for conserving Nebraska’s flora, fauna and natural habitats through the proactive, voluntary conservation actions of partners, communities and individuals.

Landowners, partner organizations, public land managers and many others use the plan to guide conservation work that benefits wildlife, habitat and the residents of Nebraska.
