Walk Through the Seasons

Join a guided nature walk designed for kids ages 8 and up at Prairie Ridge. An experienced naturalist will lead your family through both wooded and prairie areas, helping everyone learn to observe and interpret the natural landscape. This monthly program focuses on turning curiosity into real discovery—you'll use iNaturalist, a free tool on your phone, to photograph plants and animals you encounter and contribute to collaborative science efforts. The walk runs for two hours and requires advance registration. This is a great option for families who want a more structured outdoor experience with expert guidance, perfect for kids who are developing their observation skills and interested in nature exploration. Come ready to explore, ask questions, and help document the wildlife around you.
