Keystone species are animals that play a huge role in their environment’s web of life. Often their existence helps support dozens of other species and environmental processes helpful for healthy ecosystems. Prairie dogs, bison, and beavers are a few examples of ecological super heroes that live or have lived here in Nebraska. Join us as we learn more about how keystone species help living communities thrive in our state.
