Explore old-growth prairies bursting with life and

Explore old-growth prairies bursting with life and whimsical oak/hickory woodlands with historic stone wall features on Saturday, September 21st. Experience nature first-hand during our Guided Naturalist Walk with Deep Roots and Johnson County Parks and Recreation District.

Lexington Lake is a mixture of water, prairie, and woodland habitats. Located in DeSoto, Kansas, this 465-acre park features oak/hickory woodland and old growth prairie with more than 120 prairie plant species. One of these species is the federally threatened Mead’s Milkweed (Asclpeias meadii), a species that requires periodic burns for survival. The adjacent 27-acre lake provides food and habitat for fish, insects, birds, and mammals. Attractive to both wildlife and community, you can see folks walking, fishing, birding, and enjoying outdoor recreation.

From the late summer wildflowers to glacial erratics dotting the woods, experience the magic of nature in person. Learn about our changing landscape from JCPRD natural resource experts. Meet other nature enthusiasts and find inspiration, information, and practical resources for supporting nature at home.

Want to start your own prairie? Shrinking turf law

Want to start your own prairie? Shrinking turf lawn is not only better for nature, but it also saves time, money, and valuable resources. With the majority of Missouri land being privately owned, it’s critical that we steward and create native habitat where we can.

Join us tomorrow for our virtual "Lunch and Learn: DIY Prairie Restoration" at 12pm CST. See how private landowners, Mark and Jenny, worked with Missouri Department of Conservation to convert several acres of turf lawn to a pastoral native prairie restoration.

Stick around for the live Q&A with Cassandra Messer, Private Land Conservationist of MDC, at the end of the program to learn about state-wide resources and how you can transform your space into native habitat.

Register for free today! Link in the bio.
