The Beef State in the 21st Century
with
John Carter

7:00 PM, Thursday, February 11

For years we saw the motto "The Beef State" on our vehicle license plates. Historian John Carter's presentation will look at the environmental transformation of the Great Plains as cattle rapidly replaced bison as dominant ungulate. It is human history and natural history—and it is surprising.

Welcome to Wachiska Audubon Society

For over 35 years Wachiska Audubon has accomplished a lot on behalf of birds, wildlife habitat preservation, responsible urban development and support of nature education for children and adults.

Wachiska Audubon is a local chapter of the National Audubon Society , serving 17 Southeast Nebraska Counties. It is one of four such chapters in Nebraska.

Monthly meetings feature guest speakers and programs on a variety of nature and environmental topics. Chapter members participate in numerous field trips throughout the year. Special events such as the annual Christmas Bird Count, Birdathon and Backyard Habitat Tour highlight the program year and draw thousands of people from the community.

Wachiska Audubon provides volunteer and monetary support to local nature centers and sanctuaries such as Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center and Pioneers Park Nature Center.

Our chapter takes pride in its role of preserving several tallgrass prairie remnants located in Butler, Gage, Cass, Colfax, Fillmore, Gage, Johnson, Lancaster, Otoe, Pawnee, Saline, Saunders and Richardson counties in Southeast Nebraska.
