Katy Kuhnel, a shortgrass prairie coordinating wildlife biologist for the Nebraska Natural Legacy Program, is available to assist landowners with a wide variety of projects to improve the landscape for wildlife. They include prairie restoration, invasive tree removal, grazing management, infrastructure development and forest management.

Kuhnel can be reached at 308-432-6122 or katy.kuhnel@nebraska.gov. Her office is in the basement of the Upper Niobrara White Natural Resources District, 430 East 2nd St, in Chadron.
