LPSNRD has many programs to help district constituents protect and preserve our natural resources. They include a variety of objectives: 

• Ground Water programs to help landowners improve conservation and production on their farmland
• Environmental education programs, so students understand the importance of our natural resources
• Cost-sharing programs that help landowners pay for conservation improvements
• Programs to keep special tracts of land in their natural state​
• Tree programs for individuals and community groups
• Programs to help towns and individuals maintain a safe water supply
• Cost-sharing with towns, villages, homeowner associations, etc. with planning, design and construction of NRD eligible projects

Each of Nebraska's 23 natural resource districts has a locally elected Board of Directors which creates and customizes programs and projects to best preserve and protect the natural resources in that district. As a result, programs may vary between districts.
