Tour Description:

Brent Fowler, a farmer and native plant enthusiast, enjoys creating wildlife habitat on unprofitable acres with a focus on bobwhite quail. He has planted around 135 acres of prairie/pollinator habitat through CRP and CSP programs and manages over 30 miles of field edge where he propagates native plants and battles invasive species. This has led to a major increase in bobwhite numbers! Come see how to make this happen on your property or just enjoy some beautiful scenery on a Wagon Ride!

***There are restrooms available at this conservation tour.

Address given upon registration.
