Wetlands of Nebraska: An Outreach and Education Project
The main objective of this project is to produce and distribute a series of integrated wetland outreach and education products to increase awareness of the importance of wetlands in Nebraska and an understanding of the need for wetland conservation. These products will provide up-to-date information about Nebraska’s wetlands, which will be aligned with the Nebraska Statewide education standards, and will deliver information in multi-media products that are favorable to today’s audiences.
