🚨Calling all Nebraskans! 🚨 Nebraska's Legislative Bill 1072 proposes transferring $40 million out of the Nebraska Environmental Trust (NET). NOW is the time to speak up, before the Appropriations Committee votes on LB1072 this week!
NET funding supports landowners, contractors, and rural communities—when routed through a nonprofit like PF & QF, 93% of the funding goes directly back into on-the-ground work. Historically, NET dollars have helped PF & QF deliver 8,800+ projects, 500,000+ acres of habitat, 58,000 acres of public access, prescribed fire training, and local jobs, while leveraging $4–$6 in additional funds for every $1 invested. The funding is crucial to the economic impact of nearly $4 Billion dollars annually to Nebraska through outdoor recreation.
Nebraska is a top-5 state for pheasant and quail hunting. Conservation funding fuels the work that goes into creating and improving the habitat our favorite upland birds need. Without NET, habitat conservation in Nebraska is at risk.
Thank you for taking the time to use your voice! If you live in Nebraska, follow the link below to send a message to your state senator and request the transfer be eliminated from LB1072.
