This portion of the Nebraska Panhandle is dominated topographically by the Pine Ridge escarpment, a rugged, stony region of forested buttes and I deep canyons that divides the High Plains to the south from the Missouri Plateau to the north. The project area straddles the southernmost boundary of the Pine Ridge escarpment and another distinct topographic region to the south, the Dawes Table lands. Taken together, these regions form a unique local mosaic of I topography, geology, and habitat within the project area. I 2. Project Area a. Topography I The Pine Ridge escarpment covers more than one thousand square miles across far eastern Wyoming, northern Nebraska and extreme southern South Dakota (Nebraska State Historical Society 2000).

  • Nebraska Chapter Representative
    North Central Division- American Fisheries Society Rivers and Streams Technical Committee Brett Roberg, Nebraska Chapter Representative Activities related to Rivers and Streams in Nebraska for 2020 NEBRASKA GAME AND PARKS COMMISSION COOLWATER STREAMS In 2015/16, the Commission drafted a Coolwater Streams Management Plan. The purpose of the Cool Water Stream Management Plan is to identify goals for stewardship of cool water stream resources in Nebraska, and to develop specific, attainable and measurable action items for Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) staff to implement to achieve the vision. A copy of the plan can be found here. Projects completed in 2020 include: DRY SPOTTED TAIL CREEK Dry Spotted Tail creek was historically manipulated to improve agricultural drainage and reduce flood potential, and the hydrology of the creek was affected by regional irrigation practices. These anthropogenic manipulations over the past + 70 years caused continued down cutting (+9ft) across the Dry Spotted Tail complex, reduced desirable bedform diversity, and dewatered the surrounding wetlands. The project team recommended a Priority 1 restoration approach that would restore the natural hydrology of Dry Spotted Tail Creek and the North Platte River, return groundwater levels to pre-incised conditions, while installing additional stream sinuosity with in-stream habitat features to sustain healthy aquatic, riparian, and wetland communities (Figure 1). Figure 1. Aerial images of the Dry Spotted Tail Creek complex illustrating pre-project (left image) and the post-project (right image). Photo credit: Justin Haag, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. In total, the project team enhanced 1.50 mi of stream, increased stream sinuosity from 1.0 to 1.43, decreased the bank height ratio from 2.5 to 1.0, reduced Dominant BEHI/NBS from M/L to L/L, increased percent riffle (%) from 35 to 45, increased the pool depth ratio from 1.7 to 3, and increased the riparian width (%) from 20 to 100.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • First State Nesting Record and Status Review of Glossy Ibis
    Vol. 83 No. 3 The Nebraska Bird Review 139 First Nesting Record and Status Review of the Glossy Ibis in Nebraska Joel G. Jorgensen1 and W. Ross Silcock2 1Nongame Bird Program, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Lincoln NE 68503 2P.O. Box 57, Tabor IA 51653 INTRODUCTION Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) is believed to be a recent colonist from the Old World whose numbers have increased and range has expanded in North America over the past two centuries (Patten and Lasley 2000). Glossy Ibis range expansion has been described as involving periods of relative stability followed by periods of rapid increase (Patten and Lasley 2000). Prior to the 1980s, Glossy Ibis were primarily found in the southeastern United States and along the Atlantic Coast (Patten and Lasley 2000). In the mid- to late 1980s, Glossy Ibis began to rapidly increase and expand into Texas. By the early 1990s they were increasingly reported in the Great Plains (Thompson et al. 2011), particularly along the front range of Colorado and New Mexico (Patten and Lasley 2000). In Nebraska, the first documented occurrence of Glossy Ibis was a single adult with 28 White-faced Ibis (Plegadis chihi) at Wilkins Waterfowl Production Area (WPA), Fillmore County, 24 April 1999 (Jorgensen 2001). Since the initial record, the number of reports of Glossy Ibis has increased. Glossy Ibis status was elevated from accidental to casual by the Nebraska Ornithologists’ Union Records Committee (NOURC) in 2005 (Brogie 2005). Only a few years later in 2014, its status was elevated again from casual to regular and NOURC no longer sought documentation for sightings (Brogie 2014).

    RG0031.MI - Nebraska Beautiful - 1938 State Parks Film: “Nebraska Beautiful” (1938) [An introduction to the distinctive natural resources and man-made park facilities of the state of Nebraska, sites that are outstanding because of their scenic beauty or historical significance] Script and Introduction by Frank B. O’Connell Produced by Winger-Maasdam Industrial Cinematographers Directed by William Lytle Photography: Felber Maasdam Film Editor: J.F. Winger Narrator: Woody Smith Sound: The Calvin Co. The Nebraska Game, Forestation, and Parks Commission presents “Nebraska Beautiful.” The narrator begins by inviting the viewer to a journey to places around the state of Nebraska that are outstanding for their scenic beauty or historical significance. He expresses the hope that those who view this film will invite friends from other states to enjoy the variety and richness of Nebraska. Map of Nebraska, with the narrator referring to “The Tree Planter’s State” while describing the “new” state Capitol in Lincoln (aerial view), “one of the great buildings of modern times.” The journey around the state continues in Thurston County with a view of the “Big Muddy” (the Missouri River) and Ponca State Park in Dixon County. Niobrara Island State Park (or Niobrara State Park), near the confluence of the Niobrara and Missouri Rivers, is unique because part of the park is a game refuge and bird-rearing station. The park offers cabins, picnic facilities, swimming, good boating and fishing. Excellent views of the Niobrara River, known by the Indians as “running water,” are featured. Brown County, farther west, includes a wooded canyon (Pine Creek) near Long Pine.
