Join Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) + Platte Basin Timelapse (PBT) staff for a fun evening of exploration in the Little Salt Fork Marsh Preserve! This program is all about investigating the unique characteristics of a saline wetland. The event also aims to celebrate wetlands month and the exciting video content recently released by NGPC + PBT all about Nebraska’s wetlands.

Little Salt Fork Marsh Preserve consists of saline wetlands and open prairie, two miles east of Raymond, at 1st Street and Raymond Road, in Lancaster County. Former owners, The Nature Conservancy, began restoring the 180-acre saline wetland in 1995. It is now owned by the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District. Shorebirds and migratory waterfowl frequent the property, which is open year-round for fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, camping and seasonal hunting and trapping. The walk will be on a mix of mown grass trail and tall grasses or brush. All are welcome.
