What do permit fees fund?

100% of your hunting and fishing permit fees go to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for conservation efforts to manage wildlife, stock fish, restore habitat and protect at-risk species. Because of your support of outdoor recreation and conservation, Nebraska is one of the best places in the country to fish, hunt and explore.

Your park entry permit fees go toward investments in your parks system — more than 70 parks and trails across the state. You make our outdoors a more beautiful, welcoming and accessible place.
