LINCOLN, Nebraska (KOLN) – The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is set to begin receiving grant applications designed to improve wildlife observation and nature-related activities throughout the state.
Supported by the Wildlife Conservation Fund, the Watchable Wildlife Grants promote initiatives that enable individuals to foster a deeper understanding and care for Nebraska’s natural resources via interactive activities.

Creative approaches to improving the wildlife watching experience are highly encouraged.
