  Program Benefits Landowners, Hunters and Anglers

 Enrollment is currently underway for the 2010 season in Nebraska’s Open Fields and Waters Program. 
 
This is the second year for this statewide, pilot program, which pays landowners who allow walk-in hunting and fishing access to their enrolled property.  Landowners are protected by Nebraska’s Recreation Liability Act, and help pass on Nebraska’s rich outdoor heritage. 
 
Hunters and anglers benefit from the program by gaining expanded access to private lands. 
 
The Open Fields and Waters program complements the Conservation Reserve Program-Management Access Program (CRP-MAP). While the focus of CRP-MAP is upland game, Open Fields and Waters targets habitat for deer and turkey hunting and also opens streams, ponds and lakes to public fishing access.
 
The program began this past fall, with contracts providing access on enrolled acres from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31. There are presently 37,242 acres available for public hunting and fishing access, including 371 acres of ponds and lakes and 38 miles of stream.
 
Enrolled acres are published in the Nebraska Public Access Atlas, which also includes other public areas, including CRP-MAP. Enrollment in CRP-MAP is also open at this time through Commission district offices.
 
Landowners interested in Open Fields and Waters should contact their nearest Commission district office as soon as possible to ensure a place in the program.
