    A place to learn, a place to join, a place for relaxation & meditation. You can bring your children here; eat your lunch here; catch-up with old friends & make new friends. In the Spring the prairie comes alive as is sheds its winter cloak. Summer blossoms the prairie in a rainbow of unspeakably beautiful color & texture. Autumn is not sadness; it is another page with it's own display of a different kind of glory: pastels give way to sepia tones & shades of shortening days. Finally, Winter returns to cover Santa Fe Prairie with a blanket of snow & sending seeds underground in needed rest, preparing for a new day & season of salvation & rejuvenation. This small piece of uncultivated soil is, indeed, a history in & of itself. This marvelous undisturbed land may look like a diminutive example of prairie in a state once almost entirely prairie. However, don't you ever say that around the men & women who have toiled in labors of their love to care for & to maintain, not a small preserve of tens of thousands of years of history; the Santa Fe Prairie is grand beyond measure; a true giant in the growing list of yet to be discovered & cared for patches of prairie that define the prairie state & those dedicated volunteers who labor to protect & preserve every patch of untouched, virgin land that can be found. The labor of a few becomes a benefit for all. The beauty of a prairie favors no season.

    This is my meditation on the Santa Fe Prairie…

    Great place to have a family outing....but at the same time it hidden enough that you won't be fighting for a place to fish ....

    It really is a hidden gem. Don, a volunteer on site, was very welcoming, let us in the caboose and told us about the prairie and river.
