For Educators
Students collecting at The Lab
We are very happy to provide tours of CERA for staff, faculty and students in tutorials and classes from all disciplines on campus. We ask that you contact Larissa Mottl to schedule a tour at least two weeks in advance to arrange for a guide. A typical walking tour to observe and discuss the habitats, restoration work, and experiments at CERA and lab facility will last 1-1.5 hours. For a tour focusing on a specific topic of interest to your class, please send your class syllabus and discuss your interests with Larissa or CERA Director, Vincent Eckhart, in advance.

Classes must provide their own transportation to CERA. Plan on a 20-minute drive from Grinnell to CERA taking Hwy 6.

Trail maps and CERA brochures will be distributed to the group at CERA or you may request that they be sent to you in advance of the trip. Alternatively, download a trail map from this website.

Visit the Center for Prairie Studies website for outreach and special projects. If you are interested in visiting other natural areas near Grinnell, please contact the Center for Prairie studies office for a free copy of their 2000 publication "Guide to Prairie Sites Near Grinnell".
