Ordway Prairie represents a fraction of what remains after the West was settled. Visitors are reminded of the history of the Great Plains through the numerous granite boulders and potholes that are evidence of the area’s glacial past. The relatively undisturbed quality of Ordway Prairie’s grasslands and wetlands attracted the Nature Conservancy more than 30 years ago. Rhett will guide a tour of Ordway Prairie focusing on grass identification. However\, we’ll identify as many plants as we can in both wetland and upland areas. \nItems to Bring:\nHat\nSunglasses\nWater/snacks\nBug/tick Spray\nPen or Pencil\nNotebook\nPlant Identification Books\nHand Lens\nBoots\, tick gators\, long pants/sleeves (ticks and poison ivy are present) \nCoordinator: Jennifer Kamm.
