🌾 Caring for the Land We Share 🌾Saturday, March 28 | 1:00 PM
Chaplin Nature Center
Chaplin Nature Center will be hosting Eric Neal, Cowley County Noxious W**d Coordinator, for an educational program on prairie management and invasive plant control in south central Kansas.
Eric will share information about the role of the Noxious W**d Department, how invasive species are managed across the county, and what resources and assistance may be available to landowners and the public. The program will also cover how tools such as prescribed fire and selective herbicide treatments are used in prairie ecosystems to manage species like sericea lespedeza and johnsongrass while supporting native habitat.
Following the indoor program, Naturalist Eden Johnson will lead an optional interpretive hike to view management areas scheduled for a Spring burn and discuss stewardship practices at CNC. Participation in the hike is welcome but not required.
