Biologically important wildlife would be
saved if natural lands were protected with
easements, said Harrison, a UNL associate
professor of life sciences.
The act also has several tax incentives,
according to Lancaster County Commis
sioner Jan Gauger.
Gauger, who asked Warner to introduce
the bill on behalf of Lancaster County, said
the Internal Revenue Service allows a tax
deduction to individuals holding an ease
ment on their property.
The deduction varies with different
property, she said.
First issue published
The UNL Center for Great Plains Stud
ies has just published the first issue of
Great Plains Quarterly.
"The most important thing about this
magazine is that it is interdisciplinary,"
said professor Frederick Luebke, editor.
The Quarterly carries articles from a wide
variety of regional subjects, ranging from
literature and folklore to hard sciences
such as geology and ecology.
"The articles are not extremely tech
nical," Luebke said. "Any educated, inter
ested person can enjoy them."
The magazine's primary purpose is to
promote appreciation of the culture and
environment of the Great Plains, which run
from Canada to Texas, Luebke said.
The winter 1981 issue contains an
article featuring the authors John Neihardt
and Mari Sandoz, and the Indian leader
Crazy Horse. Also included are articles on
plains people and area archeology.
Editorial assistant and graphic designer
for the magazine is Barbara Dunn Craig.
Associate editors are Bran Blouet, Warren
W. Caldwell, Francis Kaye and David
Wishart.
Additionally, the county would save tax
dollars by granting an easement instead of
purchasing the land.
And by leaving the farm privately
owned, the county still would receive
property tax payments.
The bill was heard in the Legislature's
Agriculture and Environment Committee
last Thursday. Because Warner could not
attend the hearing, the committee took no
action on the bill.
Committee Chairman Sen. Loran
Schmit said he thinks the bill is well in
tended, but said there are some very
serious problems with it.
According to Schmit, individuals wish
ing to preserve their property can do so
without going through a governmental
body. Easement provisions can be included
in a land deed.
He also said the act would cause prob
lems for owners of property adjoining ease
ment covered property. If a farmer had an
easement on his farm and another farmer
wanted to purchase it and build on it, he
would be prohibited because of the ease
ment. Schmit said the committee expressed
mixed sentiment about the bill, but no
members were strongly opposed.
Plans for the bill started about a year
ago, according to Gauger, with a county
ecological advisory committee.
Bagley, who chairs the committee,
originated the easement plan after con
sidering similar plans for other states,
Gauger said.
The committee forwarded the plan to
Gauger, who began the bill-creation
process.
