A new exhibit highlighting America’s Great Plains will be featured at the Flint Hills Discovery Center, September 23 – January 7.
Discover the beauty and majesty of America’s Great Plains in the work of award-winning photographer Michael Forsberg. From 2005-2009, Forsberg crisscrossed the Plains from Canada to Mexico, capturing the wildlife, habitats, and conservation challenges in the heart of the continent. Inspiring, informative, and timely – the exhibit is a love letter to this endangered ecosystem.
Originally a book project, Forsberg set out to capture what some outside observers call “flyover country” in an attempt to bring attention to and build appreciation for this often-overlooked region. Inspiring, informative, and timely – the exhibit is a love letter to this endangered ecosystem.
Exhibit Features
- 60 full color photographs highlighting the Southern Plains, Northern Plains, and Tallgrass Prairie regions
