OWL’s (Older Wiser Livelier) Hamilton Prairie Walk

Thursday, September 22, 2022

Join Dubuque, Jackson, and Jones County Conservation OWLs (Older Wiser Livelier) group as we explore the natural beauty of Hamilton prairie. On Thursday September 22 at 6 pm the OWLs will explore Ray Hamilton’s prairie located at the corner of Codfish Hollow Rd. and 288th Ave Maquoketa IA.

Through a guided prairie hike we will look for and learn about native prairie plants. Hamilton’s prairie has been managed as a biological preserve for the past 35 years and is a shining example of a privately owned prairie. With a mixture of remnant and restored prairie Hamilton’s prairie will entrance plant lovers and give glimpse into Iowa’s natural history.
