The NPS is responsible for 67 miles of the NSR outside Fort Niobrara Refuge boundaries with US Fish & Wildlife Service managing the NSR through their refuge. NPS staff provides exertise in Natural and Cultural Resource Management, Interpretation and Education, and Visitor and Resource Protection towards the goal of sustained river resource protection for this and future generations.
