Olson Nature Preserve
Dedicated to preservation of native prairie, this preserve has hiking trails along with abundant native flora and fauna. Its unique characteristics are derived from being a junction of multiple ecosystems. It lies at the easternmost tip of the sandhills and includes more than a half-mile stretch of Beaver Creek, a perennial spring-fed stream that forms the geological boundary between the sandhills and the rolling loess hardlands to the east. It is also historically significant as the site where Logan Fontenelle, a chief of the Omaha people, died at the hands of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Crazy Horse was about 15 years old and a member of the Sioux war party. The Olson Nature Preserve is truly a unique little corner of the world! Tucked into an area of approximately 140 acres, several interesting ecosystems invite further exploration. The eastern edge of the Nebraska sandhills, complete with characteristic blowouts and gullies, comprise the western edge of the Preserve. A bur oak grove, clinging to the steep slope borders the eastern edge of the sand hills. A person may observe typical prairie plants on the hot, dry sand hills and walk just 100 meters or so and be viewing ferns growing in the moist, cool forest. Wetlands, which fill the area at the base of the oak grove, abound with typical wetland plants and animals.
