Conservation in Practice Hike: Prairie Establishment and Management

Explore prairie and grassland habitat with Evan Patrick, Natural Areas Manager of Bernheim Forest.

While hiking through Bernheim’s 40-acre Big Prairie, participants will learn how Bernheim stewards establish and manage high quality, thriving prairie habitat. Home to insects, migratory songbirds, mammals, birds of prey, and hundreds of grassland plant species, the Bernheim team uses many management techniques to keep this habitat functional and beautiful.
