OREGON – Spend a pleasant morning or afternoon at Sand Ridge exploring the beauty of nature and helping to protect it.
On Saturday, July 8, and Wednesdays, July 12 and 26, the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC) will host a morning or afternoon of service learning and enjoyment in the prairie.
