Walking Tours

SIGN UP FOR A GUIDED TOUR of BLUESTEM

Bluestem volunteers are eager to share the land and Bluestem's story with you. They offer monthly tours  through the prairie and woodlands, that last about an hour. Long pants, good walking shoes and a hat are recommended. Bring a water bottle as we do not have water onsite. We do have a portapotty and bug spray. Information about natural burial at Bluestem will be provided during the tour. Select a time from our Fall 2023 dates below and sign up using the button above. We look forward to sharing Bluestem.

These tours are for individuals and families who can walk a mile to 1.5 miles on natural pathways and rugged terrain. These tours are not suited for people with mobility concerns. We ask that you please contact us directly for a private tour by golf cart. Thank you.
