Hanson Prairie Preserve
A restored tallgrass prairie remnant with sweeping native grasses, seasonal wildflowers and songbirds — ideal for intimate nature and landscape work. Best visited late spring through early fall: wildflowers peak June–July, golden hour backlighting accentuates seedheads. Easy gravel trails and small parking area at the trailhead; no fee. Expect insects and variable wind; weekdays and early mornings are quiet. Unique for close-up textures and wide, open prairie skies.
