Polk

Mini Field Trip - Life on the Prairie (9:30-11:30) FREE

Thursday, September 24, 2020

We recognize school learning looks different this year for all of us. To provide outdoor learning opportunities for school age children that may be learning at home, we’re offering mini two-hour field trips in a small group setting with a naturalist. Each small group will consist of five learning pods. A pod may consist of a parent with their children and their children’s friends. Adults must attend with children.  

If you are not able to attend, please contact patrice.petersen-keys@polkcountyiowa.gov so the wait list can be contacted. List the number of participants in the comment section.  

Our top priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of the public and the staff. In response to the ongoing development of COVID-19, Polk County Conservation programs will adhere to social distancing, smaller group size, and increased sanitation. All programs will take place outdoors and will be cancelled due to inclement weather.

Life on the Prairie - The tall-grass prairie that once covered most of Iowa has disappeared, but small pockets remain. Join a naturalist to learn what life was like on the prairie. Students will learn about Native American cultures and Iowa’s prairie through games and hands-on activities.Recommended for grades 4th -6th.
