August 21 Field Day – Agenda

We’ve completed the full agenda for our next Platte River Prairies Field Day on August 21.  We’ll have a wide range of topics and sessions to choose from; it should be a fantastic day.

See the full agenda, descriptions of sessions, and directions to the site here.

See you on the 21st!

Our Platte River Prairies are beautiful and full of life right now.  Field Days are a great time to learn more about what's living in those prairies as well as the management and restoration strategies we use to keep them vibrant and healthy.

New Date! – Next Platte River Prairies Field Day is August 27, 2014

Our next Field Day will be on August 27 – – NOT August 29, 2014.  It was pointed out to me by several people that it might be a bad idea to schedule a field day on the Friday of Labor Day weekend.  My only excuse is that on my paper calendar (yes, I still use paper) I couldn’t see ahead to the next week to see that Monday was Labor Day.  Plus, I just didn’t think about it.

So, please consider joining us in the Platte River Prairies on Wednesday AUGUST 27 for a day of hiking, natural history, and prairie management and restoration discussion!

Late August is a great time to visit the Platte River Prairies - the grasslands are loaded with yellows and golds, accented with pinks and whites, and rich with texture.

The agenda is under construction, but I’ll post it soon.  In the meantime, please make sure you the put the right date (AUGUST 27) on your calendar – paper or digital.  We’ll have a full day of events and activities, and you can stop by for some or all of them.

See you then!

(Did I mention that the date has changed to August 27?  That’s a Wednesday, not a Friday)
