Omaha's Riverfront Reborn with Nature

Omaha’s downtown riverfront has been reborn as a thriving urban wildlife haven, thanks to MECA’s smart landscaping and conservation efforts. Ducks, bunnies, bees, and monarch butterflies now call this space home, thanks to strategically placed birdhouses, bee hotels, and native plants built to withstand Nebraska’s harsh climate. MECA’s work also includes restoring disease-resistant elm trees, reviving a lost piece of local heritage. This green oasis blends nature and city life, offering fresh air and connection to the wild—complete with plant ID signs and deeper science resources on their website.
