Are you considering converting your land to prairie, but not sure where to start? Our prairie walking tour series is the perfect opportunity to learn more about this vital ecosystem and how to create a beautiful and sustainable prairie landscape on your own property.

Participants will learn about what plants and animals create a thriving prairie ecosystem, prairie management strategies and maintenance schedules, managing drainage and erosion issues, how to create habitat for birds and wildlife, and technical and financial resources available for prairie conversion and restoration.
