A Prairie Walk is set to take place at the Jasper Parklands on Tuesday, June 30th, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.

This event, hosted by the Dubois County Invasive Species Awareness Coalition, will have participants learn about the native prairie plants growing at the Parklands and the history of how a former golf course was turned into a rich ecological landscape.

Native plant and wildlife experts Will Drews (Nursery Inspector & Compliance Officer for the Indiana DNR) and Olivia Fry (Wildlife Biologist with Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever) will lead this guided nature walk.

Attendees will meet at the Parklands Pavillion and then take trails through portions of the park’s low stature prairie areas.
