Welcome Message from the NDEE Director

The Community Lakes Program represents a very successful effort that the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) has undertaken to reach and to positively impact Nebraska citizens. The program has helped
communities renovate their park ponds and stimulate the upgrade of other park amenities. The restoration efforts at these aging and under-utilized facilities have returned these areas to being appealing gathering locations within their communities.

I visited many of these projects after the renovations were completed. It’s gratifying to see how these restoration efforts draw families back to these parks, and how the restored lake areas are once again important and appreciated community resources. From conversations I have had with individuals and community leaders, it is clear that the efforts of the Community Lakes Program have provided many tangible benefits in communities all across the state.

The program has been an excellent example of the results that can be achieved from local and state collaborative efforts. The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension, through the CLEAR Team, provided their expertise and worked cooperatively with participating communities. The Nebraska Environmental Trust provided generous financial support to these local efforts, as well.

The results of these local and state efforts will benefit participating communities for many years to come.
