Mission:
Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center fosters the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of Nebraska’s tallgrass prairie ecosystem by engaging people in the site’s natural and cultural resources.
History:
Audubon established Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center in 1998 on the site of the former O’Brien ranch approximately 20 minutes southwest of Lincoln, Nebraska. This now 808-acre tallgrass prairie nature preserve offers over three miles of walking trails, wetlands, wildflowers, and grasses. In its midst more than 210 species of birds, 370 species of plants, and other wildlife dwell side-by-side with historic 19th-century wagon ruts in the lovely prairie vista. Family nature programs, school field trips, special events, and burgeoning attendance resulted in the construction of our education building, which opened in 2006. Through educating the public about the value of tallgrass prairie while introducing thousands to its beauty and diversity, we are helping preserve this singular — and very threatened — portion of the plains.
The education building blends into the natural setting of Spring Creek Prairie. From its green design to the way its aesthetically understated appearance mirrors nature, the facility brings equal attention to both form and function — and proves that understanding is indeed the first step toward caring responsibly for our native land and all its resources.
