Platte River Prairies Field Day – THIS WEDNESDAY

This Wednesday (June 22) is our next Platte River Prairies Field Day.  Admission is free, and there will be several hikes/presentations to choose from during each of the four session periods during the day.  Come learn about prairie plants and insects, prairie restoration and management, edible wild plants and native plant gardening.  You can also learn about monarch butterfly conservation and find out how you can help collect important data to help monitor their recovery.

You can see the full agenda for the day HERE.  Directions to the site are HERE.

I hope to see you Wednesday.
