Affiliated Preserves

“Wildness is the preservation of the World.” - Thoreau

A butterfly lands on a plant.

UNO’s Department of Biology has one affiliated preserve, T.L. Davis Preserve . While this preserve differs in availability and coordination of use, it also provides important resources relevant to UNO’s teaching, research, habitat, and community outreach objectives. See Nature Preserve Consortium for more information.

  • T.L. Davis Preserve is a 10 ha (25 acre) preserve along the Elkhorn River that supports a gradient of remnant ecosystems from Loess Hill Mixed-Grass Prairie and Savanna on hilltops to Eastern Deciduous Forests on lower slopes. Management of T.L. Davis Preserve is the responsibility of the Department of Biology although ownership is with the University of Nebraska Foundation.
