Don’t miss out on a once in a lifetime experience as we discover some of the hidden secrets of the tallgrass prairie. Together we will discover the stories they tell, fitting the pieces of an intricate puzzle together. Through hands-on games and minds-on activities, we will embark on a journey through geological and historical time, investigate the prairies of today, and get a glimpse of the future. How will your piece of the puzzle fit into the big picture?
