Open House on the Prairie
Join our dedicated group of Prairie volunteers who have been working since 2002 to restore 160 acres of existing Arboretum land, south of Wolf Creek, into native prairie. See the native grasses, wildflowers in bloom, wildlife food plots, Prickly Pear Cactus Glade and prairie birds. This will be a walking tour with stops along the way to learn about each area of the developing prairie. Please dress for the weather and uneven terrain (sandals not recommended). Bottled water recommended. No accommodations will be available for mobility challenged individuals or children.
Each tour group is limited to 12, so please call 913-685-3604 to reserve a time. Tours will start every twenty minutes beginning at 10:00 am with the last group at 1:00 pm. Adults only, please. Parking will be at the Prairie Gate, 0.8 miles south of 179th St. on the west side of Antioch Road. Follow signs at gate entrance.
