Julia,
Kids are more than welcome and I'd love to see kids come out for these events.
The seed collecting event will be simple, we'll point out a few plants that are ready for harvest and show you how to collect the seed-pull it off and toss it in a bag-many plants will be the perfect height for kids! If you have children that like to grow plants the landowner is letting people take home some seed to grow for themselves too.
The talk on Tuesday will be about historic prairies, the bison that roamed them, the deep roots, wildlife that uses prairies, how prairie cleans water, etc. It could be a little much for really young kids but will only be 20 min. and then there will be a trail walk through prairie where we'll point out different plants and talk about their uses.
The Rolling Thunder Prairie walk won't have any trails, really young kids may be afraid to walk through the plants.
I would recommend the library display for some rainy day, there are a number of new children's books and the display will be up all month.
Let me know if you have anymore questions and we'd love to see you there!
Michele
