Wetlands
 |
When ground water rises to the surface a wetland is created. When that water passes through salt deposits on its way up, a saline wetland is created and Lincoln, NE is one of the very few places on earth where that happens. |
Two public access saline wetlands are maintained in Lincoln by the NRD; "Lincoln Saline Wetlands Nature Center" and "Whitehead Saline Wetland". Both are successful NRD restoration projects designed to preserve rare saline wetlands and their unique ecosystems.
The NRD is a partner in the Eastern Nebraska Saline Wetlands Conservation Partnership.
The LPSNRD Board of Directors has adopted rules and regulations for public use of urban wetlands. Please report any misuse of property to the Lower Platte South NRD, 402-476-2729, to Crime Stoppers, or to the county sheriff.
Have fun and be safe! |
