Sutherland, Iowa — This year, the O’Brien County Conservation Board is offering people of all ages the opportunity to “Immerse in Nature – Spend Time Outdoors.”
Conservation board officials tell us this 2020 outdoor series will offer a monthly experience for people to connect with natural spaces around them. The programs will involve only as much physical activity as each person wishes to expend. They say the events will provide a block of time for participants to connect with the natural world around them.
The first in the series is called “Take a Closer Look.” They tell is it will be held on Saturday, January 25 at 1:00 p.m. Meet at the Prairie Heritage Center at 4931 Yellow Ave, Peterson. That’s between Sutherland and Peterson, just north of Highway 10. The presentation will begin indoors with an overview of what to expect as one slows down to really observe nature. Officials tell us you should dress or bring appropriate clothing for heading outdoors. Snowshoes will be provided, if you wish. Bring a camera or sketch materials. They advise that most of all, you should bring your sense of adventure.
For more information, call the Prairie Heritage Center at 712-295-7200.
