Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge in Nebraska

Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge was established to recover fish and wildlife habitat in and along the Missouri River.

Boyer Chute is once again a functioning part of the river. Close to 3,350 acres of floodplain woodland, tallgrass prairie, and wetland habitats now benefit Missouri River fishes, migratory birds, endangered species, and resident wildlife.
