Playa Festivals educate fifth graders, their teachers, and communities about the water cycle, the Ogallala Aquifer, wastewater management, and looming global challenges focusing on our region’s unique playa basins.

Held four times a year, Playa Field Days are geared toward conservation of playa basins and their adjoining watershed, and include topics such as planned grazing management, identifying playa plants, understanding the role of playa critters like amphibians, waterfowl, shore birds, and macroinvertebrates, in addition to learning about conservation practices and cost-share programs that help to restore playa wetlands. We will post upcoming events and agendas on this page as they become available.
