Irvine Prairie Walks

Join the Tallgrass Prairie Center and Cathy Irvine for evening strolls at Irvine Prairie on the fourth Mondays of the month, beginning in March. Come enjoy the prairie with neighbors and friends; all ages are welcome! Throughout the season we will be joined by partners and guest speakers to lead walks on topics that showcase different aspects of Irvine Prairie. Additionally, we invite you to participate in a read-along of John Madson’s Where the Sky Began. Pick up a copy in April and join us in June and July to discuss the book that Cathy Irvine says inspired her gift of Irvine Prairie. Upcoming Walks March 23 – Stretch your legs after a long winter and explore the prairie at the turn of the season. April 27 – Learn more about prescribed fire and pick up a copy of Where the Sky Began by John Madson. A limited number of copies will be available. May 25 – Stay tuned for the announcement of our first guest speaker. Irvine Prairie walks continue on the fourth Monday of each month through September, with additional walks on June 8 and July 6. Connect with the Tallgrass Prairie Center on Facebook and visit tallgrassprairiecenter.org for updates as each walk approaches. Questions may be directed to tallgrassprairiectr@uni.edu. All walks begin at 6:00 p.m. near the parking area by the Irvine Prairie rock. Please come prepared for the weather. Water, closed-toe shoes, and long pants are recommended. In the event of inclement weather, walks will be canceled.
