The volunteer series continues! Help us improve our county park. Every Wednesday we will be using hand tools to cut honeysuckle, an invasive plant that is taking the place of more valuable native plants. Work locations will be determined a week in advance. Registration is required by the Sunday before each week's event. Participants ages 15 and under need an adult present.

These programs, offered for families, are based on our favorite school field trip topics. Children must be accompanied by an adult; no more than 5 children per adult. Prairie Pollinator Party at McFarland Park (designed for elementary grades) -- the prairie is blooming and buzzing. Celebrate! We will explore flowers, see who is pollinating the prairie during an insect hunt, and make a seed ball to take home.
