Rebuilding the Herd, Rewilding the Future

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the decades-long effort to restore bighorn sheep to the Nebraska Panhandle. Since their reintroduction in the 1980s, conservationists have worked to overcome disease, habitat challenges, and other obstacles to establish sustainable herds. Join Nebraska Game and Parks Bighorn Sheep Program Manager Todd Nordeen and his team in the field, and then follow Todd into our studio where he sits down with host Carlee Moates to discuss the past, present, and future of Nebraska's bighorn sheep. Next, head back to school at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium's Zoo School, where students explore natural sciences and the environment through innovative, hands-on learning, and cap off the year with a major Earth Day celebration. Finally, experience the awesome beauty of Scotts Bluff National Monument from the air.
