| This program blends plant ID, soundscape listening, and seasonal photography - perfect for beginners, photographers, nature lovers, dreamers, and doers. As the sun sets on the prairie, the sights and sounds grow in the glo. When prairies flourish, wildlife returns and people thrive - cleaner air, chatty nights, and the simple, restorative joy of being in nature. Join our passionate team, including Jeff Cantrell and Mike Skinner, for a relaxed stroll through Shelton L. Cook meadow as the sun sets. We’ll look for emerging native plants, enjoy perfect golden-hour light for pictures (cell phone or fancy camera), and settle in to listen for the Prairie Mole Cricket’s steady, rhythmic call. The Prairie Mole Cricket is a species of conservation concern in Missouri that calls around dusk at Cook Meadow. What to bring (optional): Layers and sturdy shoes Small red-light flashlight or headlamp (use only before/after listening) Paper and pencil for notes Phone or recorder to capture calls (optional) Camera for golden-hour photos Binoculars for dusk birding We will meet at Golden City High School parking lot for a caravan to Shelton Cook Meadow. Please use a working email address as this will be how we contact you if anything changes and/or we update the waiting list. |
