Program: Hidden Prairie: Photographing Life in One Square Meter

by: Chris Helzer, The Prairie Ecologist

• Chris will share photos and stories from his 2018 project in which he tried to photograph as much beauty and diversity as he could from within a single square meter of prairie. In addition to documenting a wide diversity of plants and animals, the project also produced a surprising number of fascinating stories and experiences. The project was intended to help highlight the diversity of prairies but it also ended up inspiring Chris in ways he didn’t expect. Since the completion of the project, it has been turned into a book called “Hidden Prairie: Photographing Life in One Square Meter” and is the subject of an upcoming museum exhibit at the University of Nebraska’s State Museum.
• Online Zoom meeting.
