Patrick Swanson has been restoring a Harrison County prairie. Over Memorial Day weekend this year, I joined the third installment of the LoHi Trek, a multi-day hike through the Loess Hills organized by Golden Hills Resource Conservation and Development and other partners. I joined the inaugural LoHi Trek in 2021 through Monona County, and offered my reflection on that journey in an earlier Bleeding Heartland post. I missed last year’s trek and the follow-up “mini LoHi” hike in the fall.
