Customer service
and excellence in
communications
Nebraska Game and Parks strives
to provide excellent customer
service. Our staff are responsive and
helpful, serving the public in person
at our district offi ces and service
centers, over the phone and online.
In 2024, our agency's website,
OutdoorNebraska.gov, was rated
among the best of all state fi sh and
wildlife agencies for ease of use,
access to information, Americans
with Disabilities Act accessibility
and mobile responsiveness. We also
improved the customer purchase
experience by introducing how-to
videos, refi ning our frequently asked
questions, and resolving technical
issues on the GoOutdoorsNE.com
site, ensuring a seamless permit-
buying process.
We take pride in informing
and educating the public in as many ways possible — working with local newspapers and radio stations,
appearing on local shows, hosting our own radio shows and podcasts, maintaining timely social media
channels and newsletters. Our friendly staff are always eager to help and provide information on safe
recreation and conservation.
