A Prairie Habitat of about an acre in size can be seen on the edge of the Dominican Sisters - Grand Rapids grounds at E. Fulton Street and Lakeside Dr in Grand Rapids. What is this natural area all about? When was the Prairie Habitat initiated and why? How was this commune of flora and fauna established and by whom? Sister Lucille Janowiak will focus on addressing these questions in a slide presentation indoors on the history of the Marywood Prairie. Rebecca Marquardt, Landscape Architect from Revery will give a short update on recent efforts and future plans for the Prairie. An outdoor tour of the Prairie follows the presentation.

Long sleeves, long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended.
