Welcome to LandScope Nebraska
The LandScope America website is a work in progress. In addition to comprehensive nationwide information, like much of what you can already find via the map viewer, we will include extensive state-by-state information, found on state home pages like this one. Because Nebraska is one of many states where we are still working to develop all of the needed maps, stories and other content, currently you’ll find only summary information here. For an example of completed state content, visit the home pages of our five pilot states: Colorado, Florida, Maine, Virginia and Washington.

Conservation Overview

Nebraska Conservation Summary
While most people think of corn when they hear "Nebraska," fundamentally it is a prairie state. Early explorers and settlers were met by a sea of grass that extended from one end of the state to the other. Significant portions of prairie have been converted to agricultural uses, but a number of state and federal agencies and conservation organizations are working together to conserve this state's rich natural heritage.
Conservation Priorities in Nebraska

Nebraska Wildlife Action Plan
Nebraska's wildlife action plan identifies conservation barriers and priority stress factors at statewide, ecoregion and landscape levels, identifies 40 biologically unique landscapes to help prioritize where conservation work can best be directed, and proposes several hundred actions to conserve the state's diverse wildlife and the lands and waters on which they depend for survival.
