The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society Tour of Eunice Prairie and Fall meeting
September 7 @ 8:00 am
The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society will be having our annual peak blazing star tour of the Eunice Prairie at 8:00 AM on Saturday, September 7th. The prairie is located at 650 E Magnolia in Eunice (parking lot: 30.4988, -92.4079).
The tour will be followed by our "fall" meeting — starting at 10:30 AM — and we're glad to say we're again being welcomed by the Acadian Baptist Center over in Richard, LA (between Eunice and Church Point) 1202 Academy Dr, Eunice, LA. The meeting will be preceded by talks and followed by lunch in their dining room — and I have no doubt that it'll be just as good as last time!
The Acadian Baptist Center has about 90 acres planted with a variety of native species, comprising a range of different plant communities — including a significant prairie planting that we'll be sure to check out again!
Hopefully we will get a good show of Liatris (épinette de prairie), Arnoglossum (plantain chauvage) and Silphium (plante-boursole). As always, please bring plants to donate to the plant auction!
