Rowley Fen Prairie Hike
Rowley Fen Prairie Hike
Tuesday, September 8th at 6 pm
Do you like wet prairies? What about native plants within a wet prairie? Have you ever experienced a fen? Now’s your chance! Join Kyle Neuendorf and the Iowa Prairie Network on a prairie walk through Rowley Fen. The fen is a very unique natural wetland area. One of two fens managed by Buchanan County, this area is full of plants, wildlife, and birds for nature enthusiasts to enjoy. Join Kyle to learn the history, ecology, and hopefully make new discoveries within the fen.
Participants come dressed for the conditions, wear long pants, and bring a bottle of water. Be sure to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet!
Directions: South of Independence on Hwy 150 and east on D47 two miles. Just northwest of the town of Rowley. Parking is limited, parking along the road if needed.
