On a cool, clear early September morning the Horticulture and Conservation committees of the Loveland Garden Club met at Glacier Creek Preserve in northwest Omaha, NE.  

What did we see and hear?   Monarchs, busy bees, pollinators and insects, red-headed woodpeckers, goldenrod, sunflowers, tall thistle, little and big bluestem, side-oats grama, coneflower, round-headed bush clover, and many more native prairie grasses and forbs.  Our guide was Tracy Coleman, Outreach & Admistrative Specialist. She described the various projects at the prairie and then as we walked, she helped us identify numerous plants and collect a few seeds.  

GCP was the site of a recent P4P project and was also included as part of the Shirley Meniece Conference in 2017.
