(AP) — Nebraska landowners who want to create or protect habitat for wildlife are invited to tour well-managed lands in the state.

The Nebraska chapters of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are hosting tours of 17 different locations in the state this spring and summer.

The tours began Thursday with a cedar tree removal project near Linwood. The final event is a rangeland management workship on Aug. 16 in Holt County.

The tours are meant to show habitat management practices in action and provide information on how landowners can take part in conservation programs.

More details about the free tours are available online at www.nebraskapf.com . Anyone interested in attending can register by calling Pam Grossart at 308-850-8395.
