The resolution honors the posthumous induction of Stanley Staab into the Nebraska Natural Resources Districts (NRD) Hall of Fame, recognizing his significant contributions to the conservation and protection of Nebraska's natural resources throughout his nearly thirty-six-year career. Staab began his work with the NRDs in 1979 and served as the General Manager of the Lower Elkhorn NRD for twenty-eight years. His leadership was instrumental in the planning and execution of various flood control projects, the enhancement of recreational areas, and the development of rural water systems that have benefited thousands of residents in Nebraska.
Additionally, the resolution highlights Staab's commitment to groundwater management and outdoor recreation, as well as his ability to foster strong relationships with local communities and partner organizations. He passed away on March 5, 2024, at the age of seventy-seven, leaving behind a lasting legacy of dedication to Nebraska's natural resources. The Nebraska Legislature expresses its congratulations to Staab for his exceptional service and impact, and a copy of the resolution will be sent to his family.
