Crews will be in parks conducting surveys every weekend from April 3 through Aug. 8.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is looking for feedback about visitorsâ park experiences at 22 state parks, recreation areas and historical parks. It is contracting with the University of Nebraska-Lincolnâs Bureau of Sociological Research to conduct the surveys.
Feedback from the survey will help inform Game and Parks about how to better fulfill the wants and needs of Nebraskaâs state park visitors. The survey also will provide Game and Parks with a clearer picture of how people recreate in parks.
Bureau staff will be at state park areas on weekends, handing out surveys to visitors and asking for contact information to follow up on survey responses. They will be next to the kiosk booths or park entrances.
