Flora Prairie in Boone County is a 10-acre site containing a gravel hill prairie with limestone outcrops and a burr oak savanna. It was featured in Jack Shouba's article "Adventures with Plant Lists" in the Summer 2020 issue of The Harbinger. After the tour we will have a picnic lunch at a nearby forest preserve where there is a restroom, then drive about 20 minutes to a pioneer cemetery prairie named for the Beach family. This site is only 3.6 acres but is an excellent example of a gravel hill prairie.
 
Attendees will be expected to follow all current state, local and CDC protocols to control the spread of COVID-19, including wearing a face covering and maintaining a distance of at least six feet from those not in your household. In the event of hazardous weather, we'll reschedule for Sunday, May 16th.
 
This event is open to the first 15 people who RSVP, with preference to current INPS members: link TBD

Please dress for the weather and bring water and snacks/lunch.  We will meet at Flora Prairie Nature Preserve in the small parking lot off of Poole Rd.  If the parking lot is full by the time you arrive, please carefully pull off to the side of Poole Rd and walk to the parking lot.  There is no restroom at this location, but there is one available where we plan to break for lunch.
