Wild West Tours are a great way to get an up-close look at some of the best places and wildlife that the Katy Prairie has to offer. These tours are led by well-known local naturalist Glenn Olsen, who knows lots about local birds and native plants.

The introduction to Prairie Birds tour will provide a splendid grounding in the Katy Prairie’s unique landscape and how it provides for a diverse bird community. Glenn will provide tips for finding birds on the prairie and will also interpret the different bird groups found on this magnificent grassland/farmland complex.
