Cayden will tell us about the critical role our native grasses play in keeping the prairies in our Preserve healthy. The vast prairies rife with native plants and grasses that filled the middle of our country up until the 1900s have disappeared because of our need for housing and food.

However, we still have hundreds of small prairie pockets of that heritage that can still be seen. And one of those pocket prairies is right here in our Preserve. These tall and deeply rooted native grasses on those prairies are instrumental in holding the soil in place.
