Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary focuses on conservation of the Platte River ecosystem and the birds that rely on it.
Help us continue our important work for Sandhill Cranes and other birds that rely on the Platte River; make a donation today.
The visitors' center is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Masks are required indoors for all individuals. Trails are open every day from dawn until dusk.
Reminder: Pets are NOT ALLOWED on the sanctuary at any time.
Even though Sandhill Cranes stage in the Platte River valley in large numbers during the spring migration, this is not the case in the fall.
