native prairie restoration

Native prairie restoration is the process of returning degraded or altered land back to its original prairie ecosystem, which is characterized by grasses, wildflowers, and diverse wildlife. This involves removing invasive species, planting native plants, and restoring natural processes like fire and grazing. The goal is to improve biodiversity, enhance soil health, and provide habitat for native animals. Such restoration not only benefits the environment but also supports climate resilience, water quality, and community well-being, fostering a connection to the natural heritage of an area.
