(From Missouri State Parks)As spring progresses, the prairie becomes more colorful. Join a park naturalist at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 20, at Prairie State Park to walk through green grasses and colorful flowers while learning about the prairie’s unique ecosystem.
Participants should meet at the Regal Tallgrass Prairie Nature Center and dress appropriately for a 2-mile hike across the prairie. Long pants, sturdy shoes, insect repellent, sunscreen, water and snacks are recommended.
Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails, except for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People trails. Bison graze freely in the park and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park’s campground and picnic area, but must follow Missouri State Parks’ pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.
Registration is required and limited to 25 participants. To register, call 417-843-6711. Prairie State Park is located at 128 NW 150th Lane in Mindenmines.
