These tours will be led by Cory Ritterbusch, Consultant, Prairie Works and Emily Lubcke, Natural Resources Coordinator, The Galena Territory Association.

We will begin at a Galena Territory Homeowner’s yard to see four prairies in various stages of development. Witness the wonderful prairie plants as we are led on a guided tour by the experts.

Following the yard tour, it's just a short walk or drive to a nearby remnant prairie and oak savanna restoration. You can see the restoration under varying patterns. Cory Ritterbusch has been doing restoration here since 1999 and Emily Lubcke since 2008. You can see their work and learn how it has evolved over time.
