Ribbon-cutting for improved facility and site is Oct. 21, 2022
Following a three-year cleanup effort and after a decade of limited use, the College of Arts and Sciences’ Reller Prairie Field Station is ready to support a full range of experiential learning at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
To mark the occasion and celebrate the hard work of dozens of volunteers over the past three years, the School of Global Integrative Studies is hosting a ribbon-cutting and open house at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 21 at the field station, 20210 S.W. 29th St., Martell, south of Lincoln.
The effort involved the dedication of faculty, staff and other volunteers working at least one Saturday a month to clean up overgrowth, remove invasive species including redcedar, and completely gut and remodel the on-site steel building, transforming it into a classroom, office and lab. The building is now insulated and has a wood-burning stove for heat, making it available during all seasons, when previously the summer months had been too hot and the winter months too cold.
