Restoring prairie grasslands is a valuable ecological endeavor. Here are the basic steps we plan to use to restore our grasslands to conservation prairie:

1. Site Assessment:

   • Identify the site characteristics and define goals for the restoration.
   • Identify species at risk.

2. Vegetation Removal:

   • Remove existing weeds and undesired vegetation from the site to prevent aggressive weedy species from out-competing native prairie plants.

3. Seed Selection and Planting:

   • Choose a seed mix that closely mimics native prairie, providing habitat and food for native insects, including pollinators, and wildlife.

4. Management:

   • Implement management practices such as controlled burns, grazing, or mowing to maintain the health of the prairie.

5. Monitoring:

   • Regularly monitor the site to assess the success of the restoration efforts and make adjustments as needed.
