What is the Gottfried Prairie & Arboretum?
At one time, most of Fond du Lac County was covered by prairie – native grasslands that were home to bison, prairie chickens, bobolinks and other wildlife. At the Gottfried Prairie & Arboretum on the UW-Fond du Lac campus, a group of volunteers has reestablished the native plants that once grew on this site.
UPCOMING:
Celebrate nature with yoga, prairie tours, environmental education displays, short nature pop-up presentations, and more at this year’s Prairie Fest on Saturday, August 2 from 8:00 AM – Noon at the beautiful Gottfried Prairie and Arboretum, adjacent to the Fond du Lac County Campus.
Prairie Fest is a FREE family-oriented environmental education event with activities for all ages.
Watch for a detailed schedule in July.
