here are many good hunting organizations in Nebraska.
Most work for similar, noteworthy goals. What sets
Safari Club International apart? Our main goals of education,
conservation and protection of hunters rights are reasons
enough for most to join. However, there are other benefits to
Nebraskans as well.
Education is the backbone that supports the entire
structure. In 2018, the Nebraska chapter supported various
local activities, including high school shooting sports. We
also initiated our Take a Kid Outside program, the first of
what is to become an annual event.
We have also worked with Safari Club on a national level
to support the American Wilderness Leadership School near
Jackson, Wyoming, which equips educators worldwide with
essential tools and knowledge on promoting outdoor activities.
Protection of the hunter is another reason to join. Safari
Club International monitors legislation in Nebraska and
nationwide that affects sportsmen, and stands ready to act
at a moment's notice. If litigation is necessary, our team
is second to none in fighting for sound scientific-based
management and sustainable-use conservation. We support
legislators locally and nationally who work to protect
hunting and other outdoor activities.
Conservation of habitat and wildlife is also an important
mission to our members. Throughout the years we have
supported many Nebraska conservation projects, such as
river otter recovery and Smith Falls access. We were also
among the original sponsors of bighorn sheep reintroduction.
We look forward to continuing a long relationship with
Nebraska supporting wildlife and habitat.
On a national level, Safari Club International has funded
and supported wildlife conservation throughout the world.
We have worked with many countries to develop and
implement programs that support wildlife management and
to increase opportunities for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.
But most of all, many join us for the fellowship. Our
events – sporting clays, dinner parties, presentations – have
fostered lifelong friendships and hunting partnerships.
We invite you to join us on Jan. 25-26, 2019, at the
Beardmore Event Center in Bellevue for our annual
convention and expo. We will have exhibitors from many
countries, and there will be something for everyone. More
details coming soon!
