Wetlands Rules & Regulations

A saline wetland results when artesian salt water flows to the surface over a long period of time and changes the characteristics of the soil.  Saline wetlands are among the rarest land types on earth and support several equally-rare species of flora and fauna.  Modern development has dwindled the number of saline wetland acres, however, LPSNRD has had success in restoring several saline wetlands, which are represented below.  To learn more about saline wetlands, visit the website of the Eastern Nebraska Saline Wetlands Conservation Partnership, of which LPSNRD is a partner.
