Program details:

All across North America, prairie habitat is under continuous threat due to anthropogenic development. These rare and fragmented ecosystems, rich in biodiversity, provide vital homes to numerous native species of birds, insects, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. 

Join us as we explore the beauty and diversity of Fernwood’s own tallgrass prairie, established in 1974. You’ll learn all about prairie plant identification, how to use a dichotomous key, habitat structure, invasive species identification, and management techniques. 

Please dress accordingly – long sleeves, long pants, closed-toed shoes, long socks, hats, gloves, and sunscreen. Please bring a water bottle and snacks if needed.
