STEM Education at Glacier Creek Preserve
Welcome to The Glacier Creek Preserve!
Glacier Creek Preserve is a topographically diverse nature preserve dedicated to the study and appreciation of the tallgrass prairie and associated ecosystems of eastern Nebraska. The site provides critical habitat for prairie flora and fauna with opportunities for education, research, and appreciation of prairie ecology and management.
The preserve is composed of three tracts: the Allwine Prairie Tract (the original preserve), the Papio Tract and the Barbi Hayes Overlook. The Barn @ Glacier Creek is an on-site Environmental Education and Research Facility that provides a field-connected laboratory for use by classes as they expand on their field investigations. The Hubbard Foundation and the University of Nebraska Omaha has funded a new position titled the Hubbard STEM Learning Instructor in August 2015. The current Hubbard STEM Learning Instructor is Dr. Carol Engelmann.
