10:00am: Prairie Power
The remnant prairie outside the Nature Center is a treasure to behold! August finds the grasses in full glory and the late summer flowers valiantly hanging on. Come explore this endangered habitat at its crescendo!

Hop on your bike and join Andrea for a free ride on the Great River State Trail. No trail passes are necessary for this short leisurely ride to the National Wildlife Refuge.
