Help Restore the Prairie, One Violet at a Time!
You’ve probably noticed some big changes in the fields at Prairie Woods this summer! We’ve been preparing former grassland areas for a new prairie restoration, which will be dormant seeded this fall with a mix of native wildflowers and grasses.
As part of this project, we’ve ordered 1,000 prairie violet plugs, and we’re organizing a volunteer event to get them in the ground. These violets are especially important because they’re the host plant for the regal fritillary butterfly, a rare prairie species that depends on them to survive.
