Audubon Great Plains recently called on Nebraskans who care about birds, wildlife, and the state’s natural landscapes to take action by contacting their state senators and urging a NO vote on LB261 and LB264.

These harmful bills threatened to weaken Nebraska’s longstanding commitment to wildlife habitat conservation and the protection of diverse natural resources. Specifically, LB261 and LB264 aimed to restrict the Nebraska Environmental Trust — a vital funding source that has supported decades of successful conservation work.

If passed, these bills would have jeopardized collaborative efforts between partners and local communities who have long worked together to protect Nebraska’s natural habitat.

Nebraskans responded by raising their voices and reminding lawmakers that conservation matters. Through our action alert, individuals were able to quickly and effectively share their concerns with their state senators.
