Enjoy the full moon and the full blossom of the prairie on this evening
tour. We will view the prairie in its late summer splendor – stiff
gentian, showy goldenrod, joe-pye weed, blazing star, evening primrose,
and prairie onion are just a few of the plants we expect will be in
flower. The tallest of the prairie grasses will have bolted skyward,
and you will have the opportunity
to view the waves of grasses that the
prairie schooners of the early settlers moved through. This walk is
timed to allow us to enjoy the moon rising over the prairie, and we
expect to be finishing our outing as darkness settles across the
landscape. Feel free to bring a flashlight if you have concerns about
your footing. Mosquitoes are unpredictable, so insect spray or
protective clothing may be in order.
