Additional Description: Prairie Restoration This site is being actively managed to restore the prairie community. Prairie is a permanent grassland that contains many kinds of grasses and flowering plants and a variety of birds and other animals. Prairie is a complex biological community very unlike the annual farm crops now grown in most of what was once prairie. Restoration is an artificial, still largely experimental, attempt to regenerate a natural biological community. It involves prescribed fire, plantings, weed control and many other techniques. Many years, perhaps decades, of patient work will be required to even partially restore this prairie.
