THURSDAY, MARCH 21 Enjoy an early spring prairie walk at Glacier Creek Preserve at 6 p.m. Then head to the historic Barn at Glacier Creek to hear Trevor Pellerite’s program on Pocket Prairies at 7 p.m. Learn how his nonprofit foundation, Grasslands Unlimited, is changing the landscape of Omaha’s medians and roadsides into low-maintenance, nature-friendly habitats. Trevor’s program was originally scheduled in January, but Mother Nature put a stop to that!
Glacier Creek Preserve is a 525-acre preserve located northwest of Omaha at 14810 State Street. It features the 140-acre Allwine Prairie Tract, a restored tall-grass prairie, which sustains a wide variety of plants, birds, animals and invertebrates. Please register HERE.
