Upcoming Programs/Events
Schanzenbach Prairie
Sunday, August 20 2pm 4924 Henry Cooper Rd. For several years, Mark Schanzenbach has been converting rolling farm ground into a conservation oasis. While his tallgrass prairie has improved the diversity of the landscape, Mark’s addition of wetlands has greatly enhanced his conservation efforts. Join Mark on a tour through his prairie that will focus on the importance of his wetlands and their function in land conservation. Solar Eclipse Monday, August 21 1pm Lowe-Volk Park Don’t miss this opportunity to see the solar eclipse through the Lowe-Volk Astronomy Club’s Solar Telescope.
