Discover Fall at Prairie Woods!

Fall is one of the best times to visit Prairie Woods, and we have a full line-up of ways to get outside, learn, and lend a hand. Whether you’re looking for family fun, volunteer opportunities, or a peaceful hike through the changing colors, there’s something for everyone.

Thank you for being part of the PWELC community. Together we’re connecting people, land, and learning -- one season at a time.
