Join a joyous planting party and learn about native prairies (and why they survive in old pioneer cemeteries)!&nbsp;
The Friends of Short Pioneer Cemetery Prairie received one thousand locally sourced native plant seedlings to restore prairie diversity to the field adjacent to Short Pioneer Cemetery Prairie Nature Preserve.&nbsp;
We'll be planting throughout the day, reveling in community and sharing delicious snacks as we restore the land.
Park along County Rd 7000 E, also known as Erickson Rd.
Planting will begin at 7am and continue until 3pm. Drop by when you can!
