Your generosity will help us preserve our prairies for future generations.

With a very active education and research facility (The Barn at Glacier Creek) embedded within over 500 acres that include a diversity of tallgrass prairie and associated habitats come ongoing needs both large (e.g. a replacement maintenance building) and small (e.g. supplies and equipment for class and research use). Together serving as many as 3000 regional student visits each year, with equal numbers of those enjoying walking the mowed fire tracks throughout the Preserve, donations of any size to Glacier Creek Preserve are greatly appreciated. Cash donations are most welcome due to the ever-changing needs of the Preserve but suitable non-cash donations are also welcome.


Cash (or equivalent) Donations:

The Glacier Creek Project Fund has been established at the University of Nebraska Foundation to receive donations for Glacier Creek Preserve. This fund supports the diversity of activities, such as tallgrass prairie and habitat restoration and management, that are necessary to maintain the Preserve’s natural features, features that are at the core of Preserve use for research, education, and public appreciation.


Non-Cash Donations:

Functional, non-cash donations that support educational or land management activities of the Preserve are also appreciated. If you wish to contribute items, contact the Preserve (unoglaciercreek@unomaha.edu) for more information.

Potential donors or others interested in assisting with or learning more about present and future needs may donate here Glacier Creek Project Fund - University of Nebraska Foundation (nufoundation.org) or contact the Preserves Director directly.
