Program: Hidden Prairie: Photographing Life in One Square Meter

Presenter: Chris Helzer, Director of Science for The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska

In 2018, ecologist and photographer Chris Helzer embarked upon a project to highlight the beauty and diversity of prairies at a small scale. He marked out a single square meter plot in a small restored prairie in Aurora, Nebraska, and visited the plot numerous times during the year with his camera. The photos and stories that emerged from that square meter of prairie formed the basis of a book, a museum exhibit, and many presentations.
