35-Great Plains Nature Center

The Great Plains Nature Center sitting smack dab in the middle of the Chisholm Creek Park is like getting out into the natural prairie without having to leave Wichita. This 282 acres with 2 1/2 miles of paved trails is FREE to the public and open 7 days a week while the Nature Center provides educational experiences for all ages. We were fortunate enough to sit down with Amanda Alessi - Director of the Great Plains Nature Center so she could walk us through a little history of the center as well as what they are currently up to.  It was a very educational experience and we hope you all enjoy!Upcoming events in 2022:February - Annual Friends of GPNC MeetingMarch - Spring Break ActivitiesApril - Passport to Nature, Chisholm Creek Park Spring Work Day, Volunteer AppreciationMay - Walk with WildlifeJune - OK KidsJuly - Members Only Fishing Event, Moth ManiaAugust - Nature Trivia NightSeptember - Pollinator PartyOctober - Art on the Trail, Howl-loweenNovember - Chisholm Creek Park Fall Work DayFind out more about these events, how to volunteer, or how to become a member at gpnc.orgFollow/Like Us!Website - https://www.wichitapodcast.com/Wichita Podcast Jams - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5-HvQ16Chb5FzfXBeXuOMAFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/WichitaPodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/WichitaPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wichitapodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wichitapodcastEmail - [email protected] music by Emily Hahn - @emilyhahnmusic on Instagram.
