About this event
Habitat Steward Fall Series: Oldfather Prairie Restoration Saturday, October 17th | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm | Cottonmill Park | Register Join us for a second round of restoration activities at Oldfather Prairie! Volunteers will work together to remove invasive eastern red cedar trees and encroaching shrubs that threaten the health of this native prairie ecosystem. We’ll also repair and maintain trails to improve safe access while protecting the landscape. This is a great opportunity to support local conservation efforts, learn about prairie ecosystems, and make a visible impact in your community. No prior experience is needed—just bring sturdy shoes, work gloves, and a willingness to get a little dirty. Come help restore and preserve one of Kearney’s natural treasures!
