Our Sandhill Crane visitors are mostly gone now.  Look for their return next year!

​

The Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive is now closed for the season.   It will reopen in the spring when conditions permit.

 

The Eagle's Nest Nature Store is open Thursdays and  Saturdays, 10am to 2pm until the end of December.  Great place for Christmas gifts!


Refuge staff are back at work. Please be patient as they catch up on the backlog of work accumulated during the shutdown,  Volunteers will also resume some activities.​
