Food AND nature, what a combo!
Join Groundswell Conservancy and hosts Carole and Don Schmidt, along with Custom Metals, on Wednesday, July 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for an evening on the land. There will be a short program at 6:30 p.m.
Purchase your food and then find a spot to settle in to enjoy the picturesque setting of Carole and Don’s prairie with friends and neighbors. Then walk the trails through their incredible prairie. The American prairie is one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. Thanks to the Schmidts, their prairie is protected forever with a conservation easement.
This is also a great chance to meet our new Executive Director Angela West Blank! She’d love to connect with you out on the land and learn why local conservation matters to you.
Featured food carts include: Delta Beer Lab, Cafe Costa Rica, Melted, and Paradise Ice Cream
