History: In 1969, NRD legislation was signed into law. Pictured signing the bill to create the NRDs in Nebraska are past Nebraska Governor Norbert Tiemann, center, and those instrumental in the bill’s passage; from left: Harold Siek, Herman Link, Chet Ellis, Senator Maurice Kremer, Governor Tiemann, Warren Patefield, Milton Fricke, and Warren Fairchild.
The Nebraska Legislature enacted laws in 1972 to combine 154 special purpose entities into Natural Resources Districts. On July 1, 1972, the Natural Resources Districts officially came into existence.
The Natural Resources Districts have developed dozens of fun and family-friendly recreation areas across Nebraska. Want to know where to go? Click the picture to find out more.
