Prairie and Pollinator Habitat Field Day

Iowa Learning Farms, in partnership with Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Pathfinders RC&D, and Grinnell College, will host a prairie and pollinator habitat field day Tuesday, June 24 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Conard Environmental Research Area (CERA) near Kellogg. The no cost event is open to farmers and landowners and includes a complimentary meal.

This field day aims to assist farmers and landowners with establishing and maintaining perennial vegetation, including trees and shrubs. These areas offer many benefits including pollinator habitat, reducing soil erosion from sensitive areas, building soil health, improving wildlife, and providing beauty to the landscape.
