Bolin Trail Parking Lot


At the entrance to the Bolin Trail, a sign explains the importance of this area to sandhill cranes.


Native Prairie/Wet Meadow

    This pasture is both a native prairie and a wet meadow.   Native prairie  
    means it's primarily composed of native grasses and flowering plants (forbs),  
    largely gone from the Platte River valley.   Wet meadow means the  
    groundwater is at or near the surface.   In the spring much of this meadow  
    floods, encouraging the presence of invertebrates and forbs which provide  
    essential nutrients for sandhill cranes during their spring migration.
