Prairie Maintenance Workers Wanted -- You Can Help!


Our Groundhogs group, led by Frank Norman, continue to work on our own Snyder Prairie, Mayetta, Kansas, just north of Topeka. We generally meet the third Saturday of each month, but spring is our busiest time and extra days are planned. Saturday, March 20 will be our regularly scheduled day with preparation for the spring burn, including mowing fire breaks.

Burn dates are planned for March 27th and April 3rd at 9:30am, weather permitting. Since burning depends on weather conditions, you will need to let Frank know if you’re interested in participating and he will email and let those interested know whether the burn is on.

Remember, for any burn, you should wear natural fiber clothing, leather boots, gloves, long pants without frays, a hat, and water you can carry.

Contact Frank Norman at 785-691-9748 or fjnorman@sunflower.com to get on the contact list and be informed of work day activities.
