Nebraska Bird Partnership

Much of the work of the NBP is completed by our volunteer workgroups.  Current and planned workgroup tasks are outlined in our Annual Plan of Operations, which addresses issues that NBP plans to tackle in the current year. Some issues are workgroup-specific, while others require cooperation among two or more workgroups. Visit the workgroup pages to learn about the tasks that each workgroup has or is working on.  If it sounds like something you want to be involved in, contact the Coordinator.
