Frost like this deserves a closer look ❄️

Hi Friends,

This morning Prairie Woods woke up wearing a sparkling coat of frost. Every stem and branch in our landscape was quietly shining. It’s the kind of moment that reminds us why outdoor learning matters, and why today, Giving Tuesday, is such a powerful day for Prairie Woods.

If you’re able, please consider a gift to support hands-on learning, winter magic, and all the little sparks of wonder we get to share here each day.

Give to Prairie Woods

And if you want to step into the season with us, we have upcoming classes you can register for below.

Here's to the season ahead,

Jennifer

Exploring Art in a Winter Landscape
