What can you see, hear, and experience on a Missouri tallgrass prairie in the early fall? Join MPF Vice President of Science and Management Bruce Schuette as he leads a virtual tour of Golden Prairie in Barton County, MO, a National Natural Landmark. We'll learn about life on the prairie in autumn season, including what flora and fauna you can observe. This virtual hike will be pre-recorded, but participants will be able to ask questions live following the virtual hike.
Bruce Schuette retired from working 36 years as a park naturalist at Cuivre River State Park, where he was involved in natural resource management (prescribed burns, exotic species control, ecosystem management), natural resource inventory, collections, monitoring, working with researchers, and nature education.
