Guided Prairie Walk with Margaret Renkl
November 3rd | 2:30pm | Akin Prairie
Join Patti Beedles, Conservation Coordinator for the Kansas Land Trust, Andie Perdue, Area Advocate for Lands & Outdoors Unscripted Board Member, and Megan Kaminski, Poet and Professor of Environmental Studies at KU, along with special guest, Margaret Renkl, Author and New York Times columnist, for a special event at Akin Prairie. Attendees will learn about this special place, its important role in our ability to understand prairie ecosystems, and how it is cared for. Inspired by Margaret Renkl’s work, attendees will have a chance to participate in their own writing/response practice in collaboration with the Prairie. The event will close with a unique opportunity to hear Megan Kaminski read her poetry in the place that co-created it.
Bus pick-up is available in front of Haworth Hall on Sunnyside Ave. at 2:00 PM.
This event is presented in conjunction with the Kenneth Spencer Lecture, featuring Margaret Renkl in conversation with Megan Kaminski, at 7pm on Monday, November 3 at Liberty Hall.
As the Kansas Land Trust approaches 35 years and enters a new chapter, we are ready to take on new challenges.

Help protect special places.
Less than 1% of land in Kansas is permanently protected. Now, more than ever, we need your support to increase our conservation impact. Kansas does not have dedicated conservation funding. The Kansas Land Trust relies on individual donors to leverage external dollars to protect Kansas for future generations.
