Discover Biodiversity at Chadron State Park!
Join natural resource experts and community volunteers as we explore the incredible biodiversity of Chadron State Park! This free, family-friendly event is part of Biodiversity in State Parks, a community science initiative led by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
A valid 2025 Nebraska Park Entry Permit is required. Please note: Dogs are not permitted, as they may disturb local wildlife.
Be prepared! Participants should come ready for hikes over uneven terrain. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and don’t forget to bring water, bug spray—and a sense of adventure!
