About
The Seier Ranch was originally homesteaded in the mid-1800s and remained in the family until John and Louise Seier donated the 2,400-acre property to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1999. Located in the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the refuge serves as a wildlife sanctuary and the first of its kind in Rock County. Its primary mission is the conservation and protection of fish and wildlife resources while providing opportunities for hunting, photography, and wildlife observation.
