Anual Wildflower Weekend (AWW), 2021 is currently being planned for mid September
Regarding large gatherings typical of the KNPS AWW, the social and health environment in the Fall 2021 is difficult to predict with certainty. However, the KNPS Board of Directors is moving ahead with plans for an event in the region around Pittsburg, KS.
