Our Services
We help the Department of Defense protect and conserve fish and wildlife resources at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, and Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota. We assist to implement the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan for each installation by evaluating potential impacts of military activities on fish and wildlife, ensuring that important habitat is maintained, identifying recreation and conservation opportunities such as hunting and fishing, providing information for invasive species invasive species
An invasive species is any plant or animal that has spread or been introduced into a new area where they are, or could, cause harm to the environment, economy, or human, animal, or plant health. Their unwelcome presence can destroy ecosystems and cost millions of dollars.
Learn more about invasive species management, and managing wildlife to support the safety and operational effectiveness at each base.
The Great Plains FWCO also provides technical fisheries assistance to Native American Tribes in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. We assist Tribes to manage their recreational fisheries by conducting fisheries surveys, providing management recommendations, and coordinating fish stocking requests through the federal hatchery system.
