Habitat Assessment for Nebraska’s At-risk Species: Descriptions of Species Models used in the CHAT (Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool) Species of Concern Data Layer Rachel Simpson and Rick Schneider Nebraska Natural Heritage Program, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Lincoln, NE August 2014 Introduction As part of an effort across the western U.S. states led by the Western Governors’ Association, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission synthesized information related to habitat for at-risk native species and natural plant communities. The result, submitted to the WGA in the fall of 2013, is coarse- scale, landscape-level information that can be used by anyone for land-use planning. The product of this west-wide collaboration is called the Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool (CHAT). The information, provided through an online GIS-mapping tool, is non-regulatory and gives project planners and the general public access to credible scientific data on a broad scale for use in project analysis, siting, and planning.

This vast and varied region, stretching from Texas to Manitoba and from the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River, contains wonderful opportunities to experience landscapes, ecology, and communities of all sorts. And isn’t that why we travel? To experience new things, see new areas, explore other cultures, and to be outside. People have long immersed themselves in nature to observe, smell, touch, and experience the outdoors. Today, many of us lead mostly indoor lives, yet somewhere in our minds, we know that being outside brings many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. But opportunities to be outside for city dwellers are sometimes limited, and when people do get outside, they tend to use open areas as a kind of natural playground for recreational activities. Pleasurable as these activities are, they can be one-sided, drawing on nature for our benefit. But as concern for the health of our planet increases, people want their travel to have more meaning. That has spawned a different and fast- growing form of travel with a different flavor – ecotourism. This is travel designed to engage with the environment, contribute to is survival, and benefit landowners. Admittedly, much of ecotourism’s fun is simply the joy of seeing: A wild elephant viewed from 30 feet away is an awesome sight, as is the endless whistles, alarms, and frenetic activity of a prairie dog town.

    Size Elevation Geographic Regions

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 25 LAND AND CLIMATE10 Size Nebraska measures 459 miles (740 kilometers) across at its widest point, following a diagonal from southeast to northwest. Nebraska’s total area, including land and water, is 77,358 square miles (200,358 square kilometers) — almost 20 percent larger than New England. The state’s land area alone is 76,878 square miles (199,113 square kilometers). Nebraska ranks 16th among the states in land and water area and 15th in land area alone. Elevation Nebraska’s elevation rises gradually from southeast to northwest in a series of roll- ing plateaus. The lowest point, 840 feet (256 meters) above sea level, is in southeastern Richardson County at the Missouri River. The highest point, 5,424 feet (1,654 meters) above sea level, is in southwestern Kimball County. Nebraska’s average elevation is 2,600 feet (793 meters). Geographic Regions Nebraska has two major geographic regions — the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. The Great Plains can be divided into smaller areas, among them the Loess Plains, the Loess Hills, the Sandhills and the High Plains. The Dissected Till Plains formed when Ice Age glaciers left behind a rich soil- forming material, called till, over the eastern fifth of the state. Windblown dust (loess) later settled on the till, and over the years, streams dissected the region, forming a roll- ing terrain. Along the Missouri River, the terrain includes bluffs and river-deposited lowlands. This combination makes the Dissected Till Plains well-suited for farming. The Great Plains stretch west across the rest of the state.
