is stewardship of the state's fi sh, wildlife, park, and outdoor
recreation resources in the best long-term interests of the
people and those resources.
We were tasked with this mission when the Nebraska

followed by the Nebraska Game and Fish Commission in 1901.
Management of our state parks was added in 1921.
