Middle Niobrara NRD

The Natural Resources District, NRD, is a unique system built to conserve, sustain, and improve natural resources and the environment in Nebraska.  In 1972, NRD’s were developed per watershed basins, instead of by political boundaries.  This system provided a more efficient management strategy, solving the issues of overlapping authorities and lack of funds.  Each District is governed by a locally elected Board of Directors, which ensures that local issues and concerns are addressed.
