Prairie Program, July 18

Prairies have always been an important part of Iowa’s history and economy and they continue to provide us with essential resources, among other benefits. To help people learn more about Iowa’s prairies, the Winnebago County Conservation Board will be presenting a program on Prairie Life at Forest Plaza Assisted Living, 635 Hwy. 9 East, Forest City. The hour-long program will be held Thursday, July 18, beginning at 2 p.m.
Come join Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls, as she uses pelts, mounts, and other hands-on items to discuss the history of Iowa’s prairies, the vast array of wildlife that depend upon them, their importance, and how they can be managed.
Although Forest Plaza is hosting this event, it is open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend. Refreshments will also be served afterwards.
