The Middle Republican Natural Resources District is responsible
for the protection of the natural resources and assists landowners in planning, funding, and applying conservation practices.
The Middle Republican NRD was created with the purpose of conservation and preservation of our natural resources. With this in mind, the MRNRD is involved in many programs relating back to the 12 responsibilities the Nebraska State Legislature charged NRDs with in 1972. Those responsibilities are:
- erosion prevention and control
- prevention of damages from flood water and sediment
- flood prevention and control
- soil conservation
- water supply
- development, management, utilization, and conservation of ground water and surface water
- pollution control
- solid waste disposal and drainage
- drainage improvement and channel rectification
- fish and wildlife habitat
- recreational and park facilities
- forestry and range management
The district works closely with several other federal, state, and local agencies to carry out it's programs. The Natural Resources Conservation Service provides technical support. State funding for cost-share programs is provided by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Local partners include district cities, towns and villages; counties and extension offices.
