GPF’s own Fairchild, Prospect, McKenzie-Waltrip and Loda Cemeteries protect more than flora & fauna. These sacred places are also the final resting place for long-past family members, soldiers and occasionally, nameless travelers whose journeys were unexpectedly cut short.
Familiarize yourself with the statewide status of natural areas that serve as final resting places with IDNR Archeologist, Dawn Cobb.
Following this presentation, GPF volunteer, Beckie Green, will share the specific details of our own Loda Prairie.
Everyone is welcome to this free event.
Stay a bit longer to enjoy GPF's Fall Membership Meeting including Board Member elections and a view of the year to come.
