Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway
The Nature Conservancy Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve, KS
The Nature Conservancy owns and manages more than 7,300 acres of critical wetlands in the midst of this world-class natural wonder. These shallow marshes -- averaging less than one foot deep -- are ideal habitats for wading shorebirds. The Conservancy seeks to preserve and maintain these vital wetlands so that the multitudes of migrating birds, which have relied on this great marsh for thousands of years, may continue to find safe haven.
