Join us in-person or adventure on your own, with family or friends as you become an O’Brien County Conservation Nature Nut this year!   
Once a month we will explore a different topic guided by the O’Brien County Conservation Board naturalist. These programs will be hosted each month at an O’Brien County Conservation park or the Prairie Heritage Center. Or you can do them at your own pace and download materials from www.prairieheritagecenter.org. Programs will consist of a presentation on the topic and a hands-on activity. In-person programs will be 45-60 minutes in length. Participants can do a mix of in-person or virtual programs to participate. Participants who choose to join virtually will find all materials posted at www.prairieheritagecenter.org after the in-person presentation. 
March’s Nature Nut topic is Composting 101. This program will be hosted at the Prairie Heritage Center on Thursday, March 25 at 6:30 p.m. Participants will learn the ins and outs of composting, take home plans to build their own outdoor compost bin, and make a kitchen compost bin to take home.  COVID-19 precautions are in place for all in-person programs. This program is available at no cost and is open to people of all ages. Registration is required. To register visit www.prairieheritagecenter.org.  
When you have completed the topic for the month get a stamp in your passport and you are on your way to becoming an official Nature Nut. Do one or do them all!
