Bureau Backs Federation Nature Week Support Plan
The Bureau of Reclamation backs National Wildlife Federation Nature Week with full support in March 2026. Commissioner Floyd E. Dominy praises efforts to protect natural beauty and resources as a 1966 observance theme. Programs include improving structures blending with landscapes, rustic recreation at reservoirs, soil erosion control, seeding, and landscaping to restore habitat. In Nebraska, reforestation and landscape plantings proceed with state cooperation at Merritt Dam, with Corps crews enhancing recreation facilities at Frenchman-Cam and Box Butte projects. Wildlife habitat plans accompany plantings at Merritt Reservoir, which holds rainbow trout and smallmouth bass, while other reservoirs host northern pike, bluegill, crappies, and bass. Ice fishing supports year-round outdoor activity.
