FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fall turkey hunters to receive survey

LINCOLN, Neb. – Nebraska’s 2017 fall turkey hunters are encouraged to share their experiences with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission via a survey.

Hunters who provided an email address at the time they purchased a permit will soon receive an email invitation to participate in the survey. Those who did not provide an email address can take the survey at Game and Parks’ website.

The survey will ask hunters about their turkey harvest, as well as about their hunting experiences and efforts. Information obtained from the survey will be used to estimate statewide harvest, which is used to inform turkey management decisions. Other information obtained will be used to assess the quality of the turkey hunting experience.

Hunters are encouraged to complete the survey whether their hunting experiences were successful or not. To participate in the survey, hunters who have not provided Game and Parks with an email address can, starting April 6 visit: OutdoorNebraska.gov/turkeyhuntersurvey. The survey will be available on the website for two weeks beginning April 6. Results of past surveys can also be viewed at OutdoorNebraska.gov/wildturkey.

LINCOLN, Neb. – The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will host an open house April 12 about possible future development at Indian Cave State Park.

The open house will take place in Falls City from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Grand Weaver Hotel, 1800 Stone St.

The open house concludes a two-day design charrette held at the park. A design charrette is a planning session where citizens and stakeholders collaborate on the vision of a development project. The open house will allow the public to review the suggestions, ideas, drawings and other plans developed during the charrette, as well as to ask questions and provide additional input.

Following the open house, the design team will refine the information and drawings with the input received from the public and produce a final document that can be used in future planning and potential development at Indian Cave SP.
