Prairie Days Tour
July 20
We will enjoy a 2 mile walk around 40 acres of native prairie and 30 acres of old growth forest. You will learn all sorts of facts about the unique Ecosystem of Southwest Minnesota and various ways the indigenous and early settlers utilized the many resources this ecology provided.
You'll get an up-close look at regenerative farming and just how the prairie ecosystem greatly benefits from our rotational grazing practices.
Come to witness and enjoy the sacred beauty of the changing prairie, abundant wildlife, nature connection and a renewed reverence for this special place we all call home.
Tour is 2-3 hours
Family-friendly, all are welcome, separate kids playing activity if they don't want to join the walk.
Bring water bottle and hat.
Starts at 2pm
Please RSVP at least 1 day in advance. Thank you. Donations appreciated.

This project was in partnership with
the UMN Extension Southwest Regional
Sustainable Development Partnership:
Community-University partnerships for
sustainability, serving Southwest Minnesota. but due to not receiving a grant from RSDP to advertise this event, we can no longer offer 4 free prairie days. When we do not pay for Facebook advertising people do not show up as they do not see the event sadly. So we cannot keep organizing, mowing nearly a mile of paths for no one to show up.

These are the species you will find in the prairie and also in our herbal gardens. Many notes are in this document so you don't have to worry about writing everything down you learn on the walk. Just focus on connecting to the nature around you while on the walk.
We’ve planted trees every single year since 2014. For the past 3 years we have been growing trees from seed such as Chestnuts, hazelnuts, plums, paw paws, cherries and hardy peach. Some of us are here to grow kids, some of us are here to grow trees for those kids. One day, these trees will feed the next generation and they will continue growing trees for others to plant on land near and far. Check out the Plant Trees page on our website for a long list of thoughtful donors who help us to keep this project going until our trees are making their own seeds. Imagine if 50% of America took a year off from buying presents for others and instead bought trees…. What a world it could be!
