Our Purpose

NRDs are multi-county governments organized along major watersheds with broad responsibilities to protect and enhance our state's natural resources. Major Nebraska river basins form the boundaries enabling the NRDs to respond best to local needs.

Elected boards govern districts. Much of the funding for resources management programs and projects come from property taxes generally amounting to less than two percent of property taxes collected in the area served by the district.

Partnerships built between NRDs and other resources management agencies – both state and federal – have strengthened the overall conservation effort. Nebraska's Natural Resources Commission, Game and Parks Commission and Departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Quality work closely with natural resource districts. Our federal government partners include the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service and Farm Services Agency, the US Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service.
