Great Plains Nature Center Alert

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza – a rapidly spreading viral disease that can infect birds – has been detected in Kansas. If you encounter a sick, injured or abandoned bird, please contact your local KDWP office first to discuss the safest option(s) prior to handling the bird.

The Great Plains Nature Center is operated and maintained under a unique joint venture between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, and the Wichita Department of Park and Recreation. All three entities share a common goal of providing recreational, interpretive and environmental education opportunities to the public. This nature center provides a place for everyone to learn about natural resources, especially the wildlife and habitats of the Great Plains.
