Pocket Prairies for Faith Communities

Date/Time
3/1/2026
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM Central
Event Description
What is a pocket prairie and why would you want one at your faith community? If your faith community
is maintaining lawn that it does not use, join us online to learn about pocket prairies, their benefits, and
how to create and maintain one. Lan Shen, Seed Collection Manager and Great Grow Out Coordinator
for the Coastal Prairie Conservancy, will describe pocket prairies, how they can benefit your faith
community, the larger community, and the environment. Beth Clark, Landscape Architect, will discuss
how to create and maintain pocket prairies. A hands-on workshop for those faith communities
interested in creating pocket prairies at their houses of worship will follow in May, with a pocket prairie
planting planned for Fall 2026. Time for Q&A with the speakers will follow the talk. All who register will
get a link to a recording of the talk. Please register on www.eventbrite.com at
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pocket-prairies-for-faith-communities-tickets-1981066939545. The
WebEx platform will be used for this virtual event – all registrants will get an e-mail invitation to the
WebEx. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
