Prairie Appreciation Day at Glacial Heritage Preserve

###

Of the 150,000 acres of prairies originally in this area, there are less than 15,000 remaining, most in poor condition. As more and more people and warehouses move into the area there is continuing pressure to develop them. Come join us in celebrating this unique ecosystem and learn what you can do to help save it! Glacial Heritage is the best prairie off JBLM, so come out and enjoy it.

As always, we need lots of VOLUNTEERS to help pull this off. No special knowledge or skills are necessary. Please contact [getrotter@comcast.net](mailto:getrotter@comcast.net)

Please leave your pets at home. This is not an appropriate event for them. Scatter Creek is a wonderful alternative prairie to take your dog for a great on-leash experience and some nice prairies.

Handicapped Accessibility: Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve includes a paved 1/2 mile ADA accessible interpretive trail. Discover passes are required.

You’re welcome to bring a picnic lunch to the event. Alternatively, we anticipate having the Hungarian Kitchen Food Truck available at Glacial Heritage again this year. Plan on bringing your own food and refreshments to any of the alternate locations.

We are accepting donations to the Thurston County Food Bank. No glass please.
