Think safety and act safely. You can help keep yourself and other visitors safe and wildlife wild by setting a good example! Remember to treat wildlife with proper caution and respect. The safety of animals, as well as your safety, depends on everyone using good judgment.

🦬 Give animals room.

The best way to stay safe around wildlife is to give animals room to move. Many parks require you to stay a minimum distance of 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards from predators like bears and wolves. If you’re close enough for a selfie, you’re definitely too close. Use binoculars or a zoom lens and move back if wildlife approach you.

🦬 Do not disturb.

Even when you’re farther away, leaving wildlife alone can help your viewing experience—plus it’s the law. It’s illegal to feed, touch, tease, frighten, or intentionally disturb wildlife. Remember that wildlife in parks are wild and like Grandma, can be unpredictable when they’re disturbed or surprised.

🦬 Be responsible.

Ultimately, staying safe and keeping wildlife wild is up to you! When you go out into a national park, it’s your responsibility to keep yourself, your family, and the wildlife safe.

This unassuming little plant, with its delicate lavender blooms, is only found in a certain portion of the state—and it’s one of the rarest native species. The blowout penstemon (also called Hayden's Penstemon) thrives in areas where few others can: sandy, shifting dunes created by wind erosion, known as "blowouts."

Once teetering on the brink of extinction, this plant has been making a slow but steady comeback thanks to conservation efforts. It's a tough survivor in a harsh landscape—true Nebraska grit in flower form! This penstemon species is still considered a federally endangered plant at this time.
