Nebraska Incentive Programs

In Nebraska, several incentive programs stand out as a result of exceptional program coordination, strategic approaches to conservation, innovative ways to supplement federal conservation programs, and a strong focus on habitat. These strong characteristics have led the way for very effective conservation efforts in the state. Many of Nebraska's habitat conservation incentive programs are administered through the state's Natural Resources Districts. These are similar to Soil and Water Conservation Districts, however they have taxing authority which provides an opportunity for more stable funding and staffing.
