Life Between Grass and Stream

Nebraska's coolwater streams support diverse aquatic habitats and an equally wide variety of wildlife, yet many face growing pressures from changing landscapes. Discover how dedicated conservationists are restoring Nebraska's rare coolwater streams to benefit fish, wildlife, and water quality. Thad Huenemann, Rivers & Streams Program Manager for Nebraska Game & Parks, talks further in Field Notes with host Carlee Moates about the efforts to restore these streams. Through restoration projects, partnerships, and practical solutions, these rare waterways can remain healthy for generations. At the Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center, Jason “the Birdnerd” St. Sauver, highlights the important work being done to connect people with Nebraska's endangered grassland songbirds.
