GAME VIOLATIONS

replacement costs or the monetary value placed on wildlife taken illegally. Liquidated damages
can apply to each animal taken illegally. For a complete overview of the specific laws and
regulations, visit OutdoorNebraska.org. Call Nebraska Wildlife Crimestoppers toll free at 800-

INVASIVE SPECIES
Invasive species are plants, animals or pathogens that are non-native to an ecosystem. They
cause harm to the economy, environment or human health. They interfere with recreation
opportunities and affect wildlife. They impact wildlife by significantly reducing desirable wildlife
forage, altering thermal and escape cover, affecting water availability for wildlife, and reducing
vegetation biodiversity necessary for wildlife survival.
• Before leaving home or camp, inspect and remove all plant parts, animals, mud, and other
debris from gear, pets and vehicles. Dispose of the debris on site. Do the same before
leaving your hunting site.
• Only burn locally sourced firewood to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer.
