Last week, the 2025 Nebraska Grazing Conference tour stopped at Rowe Sanctuary, where we showcased how partnerships make conservation stronger! 🌾 Through a grazing lease with our neighbors, combined with prescribed fire, we’re tackling invasive Intermediate wheatgrass in our wet meadows. Thanks to this collaboration, we’re seeing healthier habitats — and more space for wildlife to thrive. #ConservationInAction #NebraskaPrairie | Rowe Sanctuary

There’s a lot of pressure to make sure you’re following the methods of our vegetation surveys, correctly. But, our Conservation team handles it with ease, even when our Center Director and Education Manager tag along and hum Queen’s “Under Pressure.” We do vegetation surveys to assess how our land management practices influence our plant communities over time. The point-line intercept method shown in the video allows us to figure out the vegetative cover and the most dominant species along a 100

As Crane Season comes to a close this week for Rowe Sanctuary, we have so much gratitude towards our volunteers. We simply could not do Crane Season without them. They are the backbone and foundation of Rowe Sanctuary and Crane Season, and their grassroots efforts over the years have made Rowe Sanctuary and the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center what they are today. Enjoy listening to our volunteer, David Shurna, as he shares his volunteer journey with us. Video: Amanda Hefner Photos in Video: Amanda

“Platte River Valley. I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Platte River Valley…” Cranes are unique in the world of birds in that they dance year round, not just in the mating season. Dancing can include jumping, ground stabbing, stick tossing, bill touching, bobbing up and down, and playful versions of aggressive behaviors.

We’re on top of the world- all thanks to our amazing volunteers! We want to share how grateful we are to our wonderful volunteers that formed the Garden Gang this summer and worked hard at keeping our landscaping looking great! We planted over 2,000 local ecotype plugs in our landscaping this summer with Prairie Plains Resource Institute and our volunteers. All summer our volunteer-led Garden Gang has worked to keep the weeds out and we want to say thank you! We have around a month left of Garde

SOUND ON! Yesterday, I went out to see the sandhill cranes at Rowe Sanctuary in Nebraska. Thousands of cranes landed right in front of us just after sunset. Around 700,000 sandhill cranes use the Platte River now, during their annual migration, with their numbers growing steadily over the years—a rare feat for a bird species these days. | Joel Sartore, Photographer

It was a cloudy day for a concert, but it was a lovely time with @johndepewmusic at our Birds & Bluegrass concert. We were even surprised when John wrote a song about Rowe Sanctuary and the Sandhill cranes for the event! Thank you to everyone who came out! Song: John Depew. Footage: Cody Wagner | Rowe Sanctuary
