🎉 Congratulations to our GIS/GPS Specialist, Byron Walker, and Wildlife & Parks Conservation Officer, Kenny LaPointe, on earning their FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot license!

This achievement marks an exciting milestone as we continue implementing the First Nations Development Institute's Young Natural Resource Professionals (YNRP) grant project. Drone technology will enhance our wildlife forage planting efforts and environmental monitoring through aerial mapping and vegetation assessments, strengthening our ability to make informed natural resource management decisions and support the stewardship of the Winnebago Tribe's natural resources.

A special thank you to Byron and Kenny for the time and dedication they invested in preparing for the exam. Their commitment to professional growth is strengthening Tribal capacity in conservation and natural resource management, and we look forward to the positive impact their expertise will have on this project and future initiatives!!

Congratulations! 👏🛩️🌿

When in Lincoln, Nebraska, you may be lucky enough to run into one of Nebraska Men's Basketball dominating forwards. Braden Frager was the 2026 Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year and B1G All-Freshman Team member, playing in 33 games and averaged 11.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Pictured here is our Water Quality Specialist, Ase Overfelt, with the phenomenal 6'7'' forward, Braden Frager.

We would like to wish him a great next season and can't wait to see where his basketball career leads him! 🏀🏀🏀

🗺️💧Do you know what goes into developing a watershed-based plan?

Our Blackbird-Soldier & Logan Creek Watershed-Based Plan represents nearly five years of dedicated work by EPD's Water Quality Program. Development began in late 2020, and the plan received EPA approval in September 2025!

This milestone reflects years of water quality monitoring, data collection, mapping, scientific analysis, and collaboration with our community and partners. The approved plan also makes the Tribe more competitive for future funding to implement projects that protect and improve water quality across the Reservation.

By investing in science-based planning today, we're helping ensure clean water, healthy ecosystems, and resilient natural resources for future generations.

A huge THANK YOU to the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District for being a proud sponsor of the 2026 FLOW Symposium!

Papio NRD is a leader in protecting and conserving our region’s land, water, and wildlife resources across eastern Nebraska. Serving communities throughout Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, and Dakota counties, as well as portions of Burt and Thurston counties, their work helps ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Their partnership has made a meaningful impact beyond the symposium.

Their continued support demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, community collaboration, and education.

We are honored to partner with organizations that invest in our people, our environment, and our future. Thank you, Papio NRD, for helping make the 2026 FLOW Symposium possible! 🙌🌎💙
