REGULATIONS, ORDERS AND STATUTES
Are Nebraska's "School Lands"
Open to Public Access?
In recent years, Game and Parks has received an
increasing number of questions regarding access
to properties owned by the Board of Educational
Lands and Funds (BELF), which are often referred
to as "school lands." Popular mapping software
used by hunters often display BELF lands as publicly
accessible and also tend to label their ownership
inconsistently. Unlike some surrounding states,
Nebraska's BELF lands are not open to public access
unless otherwise posted.
When hunting on private land, remember these tips
as a courtesy to those who own the land:
T R E A T I T W I T H RESPECT.
Pick up

Ask

Park to allow
