Steen Opposes Elimination of Garden County Refuge
Nebraska Game Commission Executive Director Mel Steen told The Telegraph the department opposes eliminating the Garden County refuge or opening it to hunting. The refuge, proposed to lose two miles, would be kept to protect wintering Canada geese and support a goose management area across Garden County and adjoining lands. Steen warns Nebraskans that wildlife regulations protect resources and hunters, not temporary gains, and stresses preserving wintering grounds amid local hunting debate.
