GREAT BEND–The Kansas Wetlands Education Center will host “Cheyenne Bottoms Naturalists: Small Worlds” — a free, come and go, fun-filled morning — from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center.

From the busy world under the KWEC pollinator garden to the tiny interactions on the nature trail, enjoy refreshments while learning about the smallest residents of Cheyenne Bottoms.

The center, 592 NE K-156 Highway, is on the southeast side of the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area, northeast of Great Bend.

“Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about several of the small communities that they may not normally notice at the bottoms, from observing tiny bugs that live in our pond, to the pollinators in our garden,” said KWEC educator Jean Aycock.

“It’s a drop-in event, so families or individuals traveling or making a special trip can come and go at any time in the morning.”

Registration is not required.
