Experience a progression of wildflowers in peak bloom at the historical prairies along the Prairie Grass Trail!
These prairies existed before the time of the pioneer and were kept preserved by the railroad because the land could not be farmed. Now the prairies are maintained by volunteers who share a vision of saving this heritage and providing educational opportunities through stewardship.
This is the 22nd annual Prairie Appreciation Bike Ride started in 2005 by botanist and prairie enthusiast, Jack McDowell. Jack was one of the early “discoverers” of the remnant prairies of Madison and Clark counties and started the efforts to manage these prairie treasures in the midst of threats from invasive woody plant and agricultural weed species. Jack McDowell passed away in 2012, but his dream to inspire others to preserve the Ohio prairie is not forgotten.
Come ride to discover the beauty of the historic prairies! Pause and become acquainted with these historic grasses and flowers. Learn how to be a part of preserving them for our future.
