Walking ToursBluestem 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.
