  Join our dedicated group of Prairie volunteers who have been working since 2002 to restore 160 acres of existing Arboretum land, south of Wolf Creek, into native prairie. See the native grasses, wildflowers in bloom, wildlife food plots, Prickly Pear Caactus Glade and prairie birds. This will be a walking tour with stops along the way to learn about each area of the developing prairie. Please dress for heat, sun, wind and unpredictable weather with boots (no open toe shoes or sandals) as the terrain is often uneven. Bottled water recommended. No accommodations for mobility challenged individuals will be available. Each tour group is limited to 12. Please call 913-685-3604 to reserve a time. Tours will start every twenty minutes beginning at 10:00 am. with the last group at 1:00 p.m. Adults only, please. This event is FREE. Parking will be at the Prairie "Old Home Site Entrance Gate," 0.8 miles south of 179th on the west wide of Antioch Road. Follow signs at gate entrance.
