prairie management

Prairie management involves carefully maintaining grassland ecosystems to promote healthy plant and animal communities. This includes practices like controlled burning to reduce invasive species and encourage native plants, grazing management to prevent overharvesting, and invasive species control to protect native biodiversity. Regular monitoring helps guide these efforts, ensuring the prairie remains resilient, biologically diverse, and productive. The goal is to sustain these ecosystems for ecological health, wildlife habitat, and sometimes recreational or aesthetic purposes. Proper prairie management balances human activity with the natural processes that keep these grasslands vibrant and sustainable over time.
