Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and Wehner Park Hikes
In conjunction with the Missouri Department of Conservation, Kenrick-Seminary in Shrewsbury has developed a prairie with a 1.8-mile trail which is open daily to the public. Master Naturalist Prem Barton will help us identify many of the beautiful wildflowers. Need more distance? We will drive less than 1 mile and hike the 0.7 mile trail in adjoining Wehner Memorial Park.
