Nebraska Environmental TrustWelcome to the Nebraska Environmental Trust, a state program dedicated to the preservation of Nebraska's natural resources. The Nebraska Environmental Trust provides the seed money needed to preserve critical habitat areas, protect water supplies and establish recycling programs in Nebraska through a unique combination of lottery proceeds and private donations.
Here's what's new at the Trust:
It appears that April showers (or in parts of Nebraska, snow showers) will bring May flowers this year. Let’s hope we continue to get some much needed precipitation across the state. We completed our Grantee Seminars across the state. We held the first meeting in Lincoln on April 8th and were privileged to have the Lieutenant Governor, Rick Sheehy, address the group. Then we traveled to Grand Island on Friday, April 11th and Scottsbluff on Monday, April 14th, for the last Grantee Seminars.
On April 3rd we held our Technical Reviewer Committee (TAC) appreciation Luncheon in Lincoln to show our gratitude to the individuals that volunteer their time and expertise to help us review our grant applications. The TAC is a very important part of the grant process and their input is invaluable. Following the luncheon we held our second quarter Board Meeting and approved the 2008 grant awards.
We are excited to get out and see the 2008 projects start up, as well as stopping by to see grants from past years as the weather warms up this spring.
