Prairie Navigation

People and wildlife have been navigating their way through the vast prairie landscape for centuries. Come learn about historic and modern approaches to navigation!  Students will gain skills in orienteering, using GPS units, as well as with map reading and route-finding.  They will use these learned skills to explore the grasslands and discover what the prairie has to offer.  Navigating the landscape will be linked to animals ‘finding their way’ during migration.
