Cedar Point Biological Station (CPBS) is a University of Nebraska-Lincoln field research facility and experiential classroom in western Nebraska. Featuring comfortable housing, library and classroom spaces, and a friendly inviting atmosphere. Each summer the UNL School of Biological Sciences offer 8+ experience based field courses in biology that focus on student based research. Cedar Point Biological Station is fully open for research and educational activities from approximately May 1st to mid-August, and are fully open for individual events through about mid October every summer. Located southeast from Lake McConaughy on Lake Ogallala, CPBS is filled with a plethora of organisms in all shapes and sizes. Students will experience anything from microbiology with specimens they, themselves, retrieved out of a marshy swamp to bird watching and bird netting the 363 different species found here at CPBS.
