Wildflower Walks at Great Plains Nature Center

Enjoy a leisurely guided stroll among the wildflowers at Great Plains Nature Center.

On these guided wildflower walks along the Cottonwood Trail, participants will learn how to identify flowers. They will also observe how the prairie changes throughout the course of peak wildflower season.

The Wildflower Walks will be held on the 4th Saturday of the month starting May 25 through August 24 at 9 a.m. The Cottonwood Trail is 1.7 miles long and the walks should last about 1.5 hours, but attendees are welcome to leave early.

Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, close toed walking shoes, a hat, insect repellent and a camera or phone for taking pictures. Part of this walk is off the path so dress accordingly. The tour will meet in the Great Plains Nature Center lobby.
