Please join us at the 38th annual Loess Hills
Prairie Seminar at the Loess Hills Wildlife Management area, May 30-June 1.
Intended to foster the recognition, appreciation, and educational use of the
natural wonders within eyesight of our communities, the seminar brings together
young and old to explore the beauties of the western Iowa landscape.
One of this year’s speakers is John T. Price, a
prize-winning writer and professor at the University of Nebraska, Omaha.
Although it won’t be released to the general public until June, his latest
book, The Tallgrass Prairie Reader
(Iowa 2014), will be available for sale at the seminar.
The Tallgrass Prairie
Reader is a first-of-its-kind collection of
literature from and about this bioregion. It focuses on autobiographical
nonfiction in a wide variety of forms, voices, and approaches.
“Finally, here is a lovingly gathered
bouquet of prairie wildflowers. This collection does not stop at commemorating
all that we’ve lost, but revives the wildness in our imaginations—the first
step toward restorative action.”—Julene Bair, author, The Ogallala Road
