History
The SWCP is unique in its approach to preserve the integrity of Nebraska’s Eastern Saline Wetlands in that it takes a partnership approach to address the conservation of saline wetlands and the needs of the community. Since 2002, the City of Lincoln has received three Nebraska Environmental Trust (NET) grants and other state and federal funding programs for the implementation of the Eastern Saline Wetlands Project to meet the further conservation needs of Nebraska’s Eastern Saline Wetlands. The City of Lincoln, Lancaster County, Lower Platte South Natural Resource District (LPSNRD), The Nature Conservancy, and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) are the full-share partners, which established the Saline Wetlands Conservation Partnership in 2003. An implementation plan was developed in 2003 and is the primary responsibility of the SWCP’s full-share partners. To ensure the success of the plan, full-share partners are often required to work closely with other partners and private land owners. Other partners have contributed to the SWCP through their support of Nebraska Environmental Trust grants awarded to the Partnership and/or through providing resources for the conservation and restoration of the Eastern Saline Wetlands.
