The public input meeting that is part of the state wildlife action plan update process, scheduled for 6:30-8 p.m. Jan. 18 at the Crane Trust near Wood River, has been postponed due to possible inclement weather.
When a new date and venue for the meeting have been chosen, they will be posted on the calendar at OutdoorNebraska.gov.
The plan, known as the Nebraska Natural Legacy Project, outlines conservation efforts and priorities for Nebraska’s most vulnerable plant and animal species.
Public meetings for the plan are scheduled across the state. Participants learn about the plan and the science behind it, ask questions and provide feedback. The meetings take place in an open house format, so attendees can move freely from table to table to learn about different issues.
To see a list of all remaining meetings, visit OutdoorNebraska.gov; search for “State Wildlife Action Plan.”
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.
