20 Nebraska Game and Parks Commission • 2018-2022 Focus on the Future
Stakeholders are crucial in how fish, wildlife and
parklands are managed. Communicating and
interacting with the public through outreach and
education is important to building support of our
mission. Conservation of natural resources and
outdoor recreation resources rests in the attitude
of the citizens and the values they place on the
resources. The public must see itself as a part of
the natural world. We must ensure Nebraskans
know about our native ecosystems and how their
actions are part of the overall conservation of our
natural resources. Education and outreach are of the
utmost importance to conservation of our natural
resources. Communicating key messages and
accomplishments to stakeholders will result in a
more informed public, and increased participation by
stakeholders and partners in agency issues leads to
greater accountability, accessibility and transparency.
