The Nebraska Wildlife Protectors Association,
a board of citizens who partner with the
Law Enforcement Division to offer rewards
to individuals who report wildlife violations,
purchased and donated a new educational
trailer to Game and Parks. In an effort to raise
conservation awareness, this traveling trailer will
display illegally taken wildlife and educational
materials. Plans are to use this education tool at
outdoor events and public gatherings.

In an effort to better reach our diverse base of constituents,
seven conservation officers completed a customized home
study course to enhance their Spanish-speaking skills. The
class was tailored to address situations commonly encountered
by conservation officers.

Attracting new participants to outdoor recreation is essential
to the continued success of the Nebraska Game and Parks
Commission. Federal excise taxes on fishing, hunting and
shooting equipment shared among the 50 states are the major
source of funding for conservation projects across Nebraska
and the nation.
To ensure Nebraska has a strong culture of outdoor
recreation for years to come, the Nebraska Game and
Parks Commission hosted the first Nebraska Hunter/Angler
Recruitment, Development and Retention Summit in August.
More than 30 participants from city, state, federal and
nongovernment organization from across the state discussed
ongoing recruitment, development and retention efforts,
natural pathways for recruitment and better ways to evaluate
RDR programs. Continued collaboration will be key to our
future success.
