Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective presents Peace in the Prairie, an original presentation exploring the concepts of peace and violence, juxtaposing urban life as experienced by black and brown people living in the city of St. Louis, Missouri and the state’s endangered prairie lands.
Is the path towards peace through Missouri’s native prairies?
Missouri Department of Conservation, Powder Valley Nature Center & Tower Grove Park Office is a state agency whose mission is
- to protect and manage the forest, fish, and wildlife resources of the state and
- to facilitate and provide opportunity for all citizens to use, enjoy, and learn about these resources.
Visit their table from 10:00-2:00 to learn more about the animals who live in the prairies. They will have animal pelts, skulls, and pictures to share. Staff will also bring publications that have information about the prairies and provide giveaways, such as the great Missouri Department of Conservation magazines.
“Peace in the Prairie is a great opportunity for us to help connect visitors to the prairies of the state and the value of them.”
Staff will also provide information on the children’s summer camps offered for children 4 – 14 years in age at Powder Valley Nature Center, Emmenegger Nature Park, and Forest Park One. Serving under resourced children and families is a priority.
