Passing Along the Heritage Program

The PATH program provides Nebraska youth and their mentors free access to hunt on private lands and selected public lands.

About PATH

The PATH program provides Nebraska youth and their mentors access to hunt on private lands and selected public lands. Only youth under the age of 18 may hunt on this land. The mentor is there to help the youth and ensure a safe hunting experience.

PATH is made possible by a partnership between the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and its valued partners, including the Lower Platte North Natural Resources District, National Audubon Society and Nebraska private landowners.
