CRP-MAP is a joint effort of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, Pheasants Forever, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and, most importantly, private landowners. The Management portion of CRP-MAP improves and provides wildlife habitat on CRP lands.
Research shows that habitat is the key to abundance of any wild species.
CRP-MAP is funded jointly by the Game and Parks Commission and Pheasants Forever. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture , acting through the Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service, has cooperated in allowing habitat management on CRP tracts. Landowners make habitat improvements to CRP tracts and allow walk-in public access for hunting. Hunting permits and habitat stamp revenue fund Nebraska Game and Parks Participation. Pheasants Forever funding comes from donations by its Nebraska chapters, earned through banquets and other local fund raising events.
