Nebraska Bird Partnership

The Upper Big Blue Natural Resources District has been awarded a $5 million Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service that will help pay for new water saving programs in water quality priority areas in the NRD.

The AWEP grant will support a five-year, $5 million project that will pay incentives to landowners for several water saving practices throughout 10 townships in York County and two townships in southeastern Hamilton County as a first priority component of the grant.
