Plants, Bugs & Birds Prairie Walk

Explore Detroit's restored tallgrass prairie located in Rouge Park on a guided nature walk! This walk will give participants the opportunity to learn about and explore a prairie ecosystem through the plants, bugs, and birds that call this rare habitat home. Further, learn about and see the impact of the recent restoration work including a variety of invasive species removal methods and a prescribed burn. This walk is hosted in partnership with Detroit Bird Alliance, MSU Extension and Friends of Rouge Park.

Leaders: Lindsey Kerr (MSU Extension), Kelly Konieczki (Detroit Bird Alliance) & Friends of Rouge Park.

When parking, search 'Prairie Pathway Trailhead (North) and Butterfly Pathway' and it should pop up on google (there is no set address for this location) or look up the coordinates 42.355246, -83.259246. Otherwise, drive to the corner of Parkland & Tireman, Detroit, MI 48239, head north east on Tireman, turn left onto Outer Dr. W and we will be on your left. (You will want to pass Tireman Rd and if you drive under the Joy overpass, you went too far.)
