Cedar Point Biological Station is located in the North Platte River valley, Nebraska, with excellent access to a variety of ecosystems and habitats. Cedar Point provides research opportunities for faculty, undergraduate and graduate students as well as a curriculum of advanced course work in field biology, with an established, strong educational program and outstanding record of research productivity. In order to be able to continue and expand its research and educational programs, existing antiquated bath/toilet facilities need to be replaced and additional housing for undergraduate research assistants needs to be provided. The funds awarded will be used to build new wash house facilities and convert the existing wash houses to provide additional undergraduate researcher housing. These renovations address the two most immediate facilities needs identified in a strategic plan for Cedar Point Biological Station. The renovated wash houses and increased housing capacity will improve Cedar Point?s ability to attract and support a variety of programs that make field biology more accessible to the general public, including programs for public school students, workshops for K-12 teachers, and meetings and programs for groups such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Audubon Society and Nature Conservancy.

雪松点生物站位于内布拉斯加州的北普拉特河谷，拥有各种生态系统和栖息地的绝佳通道。Cedar Point为教师，本科生和研究生提供研究机会，以及野外生物学高级课程工作的课程，具有成熟，强大的教育计划和出色的研究生产力记录。为了能够继续和扩大其研究和教育方案，需要更换现有的陈旧的浴室/厕所设施，并为本科生研究助理提供额外的住房。获得的资金将用于建造新的洗衣房设施，并将现有的洗衣房改造为额外的本科研究人员住房。这些翻新解决了雪松点生物站战略计划中确定的两个最紧迫的设施需求。翻新的洗衣房和增加的住房容量将改善雪松点？我们有能力吸引和支持各种各样的项目，使野外生物学更容易为公众所接受，包括公立学校学生的项目，K-12教师的研讨会，以及自然资源保护局，奥杜邦协会和自然保护协会等团体的会议和项目。
