Nebraska Game and Parks collaborated with Platte Basin Timelapse over the past two
years to create a series of integrated outreach and educational materials aimed at increasing
awareness of the importance of Nebraska wetlands and the need for their conservation.
These materials, including an updated Guide to Nebraska's Wetlands, a new publication for
children, videos, and photo galleries, offer the opportunity to learn about Nebraska's diverse
wetland types: playas, sandhills, saline, riverine and urban.
This project was led by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and was funded by a grant
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Partners on the project included Platte Basin
Timelapse at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife
Research Unit, and Ducks Unlimited.
