MAKC Wildflower Walk at Kingston Prairie

April 18 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Mighty Acorn Kids Club Members - join us Saturday, April 18th, 2026 from 10 am to 12 noon to walk through the wildflowers at Kingston Prairie. It is one of the best examples of native prairie in the mid-Willamette Valley, and the early wildflowers should be putting on a show accompanied by the songs of Western Meadow Larks who make their nests in this location west of Salem.

This event will be held in conjunction with our Earth Day Celebration and anyone who wants can stay after the walk to enjoy some celebratory baked goods, and/or bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy and then join us for as long or short as you'd like to pull invasive scotch broom. It is an all ages volunteer experience and highly satisfying to give back to protect this beautiful place!

For the volunteer work party, tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided.

Join us for a fun day caring for and enjoying the land! Space is limited for this walk, so you need to register in advance. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Click here to register!
