The sessions are offered for free by the Friends of the Living Prairie Museum and run every second Tuesday in February from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Zoom.

“Our Winter Speaker Series events are always popular and we expect this year will be no different,” said Semmler.

The Living Prairie Museum features a 13 hectare tall grass prairie preserve and nature park.

While the Living Prairie Museum Interpretive Centre is currently closed, the outdoor self-guided trails and cross-country ski paths are open to be explored. Please follow all public health guidelines and stay on the trails. Dog owners are reminded that the preserve is on-leash only, and to pick up after their pooches.
