Annual state park permits
Give the gift of experiences — one year’s worth of access to over 70 scenic state parks from one end of the state to the other. With opportunities for hiking, fishing, camping, wildlife watching or just enjoying the beautiful outdoors, Nebraska’s state parks have something for everyone.
Annual hunting or fishing permits
If you know someone who loves to fish or hunt, make your gift-giving easy and get them a permit allowing them to enjoy those activities all year long. This also could be a good gift for someone who would appreciate the nudge to try a new hobby or get back into an old one.
Hard card permits
This option offers an alternative to carrying a paper permit with you in the field. When you buy a permit, you can choose to add on a wallet-sized hard card — complete with beautiful artwork of a rainbow trout, bighorn sheep or Chimney Rock — onto your purchase for just $8. It displays your current permits and hunter ID and will stand up to water and repeated trips in and out of pockets and tackle boxes.
Lifetime permits and stamps
Treat someone special to the gift that lasts a lifetime — a Nebraska lifetime permit. It is the ultimate gift for any hunter or angler and an investment in the future.
Nebraskaland Holiday Special
Give the gift of a one-year Nebraskaland subscription paired with the 2025 Nebraskaland Calendar for just $26. Nebraskaland is a great fit for outdoor enthusiasts, filled with scenic images and engaging stories on outdoor recreation, wildlife, parks and people.
2025 Nebraskaland Calendar
You can enjoy gorgeous Nebraska scenes all year long with the 2025 Nebraskaland Calendar. Each month features a spectacular Nebraska image taken by a Nebraskaland photographer, along with plenty of room to pencil in notes. It’s great for both the home and the office.
Game and Parks ‘Bucks’
Let someone choose their own gift of the outdoors with Game and Parks “Bucks,” which work like a gift card. They can be used for everything from permits and magazine subscriptions to camping, shooting range fees and more.
