Boyer Chute Hike:  Wednesday, September 24 at 6pm-7:30pm

The Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge was established to restore fish and wildlife habitat in and along the Missouri River. This guided hike will be approximately 2 miles on mowed grass with little or no elevation. Our focus will be on the Missouri River and the changing habitat that can be seen as a result of flooding and how that impacts the future of refuge management. 

Participants are advised to wear long pants, closed toed shoes and bring plenty of water to drink. Consider both sunscreen and bug spray for added protection. Meet in the main parking lot on Wednesday, September 24 at 6pm. There is a pit toilet available in the parking lot. 

Hike is limited to 20 participants.  Please Register here:  https://audubon-omaha.org/calendar-of-events/calendar-of-events.html/event/2025/09/24/boyer-chute-hike/533114
