Prairie Parade through 2011

Join the O'Brien County Conservation Board staff for a parade through the prairie in 2011. The tallgrass prairie is a dynamic place to visit. Every week a transformation occurs. Colors change, animals migrate through and plants burst into bloom.
Winter was filled with snowshoe hikes and winter games. Prairie parade visitors had a ball. Check out these families enjoying a native game of double ball in the snow.
Eagles, Pasque flowers, frogs, swans and spring wildflowers top the list for the prairie parade this season. Be sure to check the calendar and plan to attend.
Although they are not on this years schedule as a public program, keep an eye out for evidence of spring prairie burns. They are an important part of prairie management!
