Prairies on Notice

In Minnesota, you wouldn't expect to be too far away from the prairies wherever you are in the state. My tours, however, in the Metro area and outside it have revealed very little of America's grasslands so far. Instead, I'm seeing a lot of these boards that have to 'announce' the presence of native prairie planting.



Lynn spoke about homesteading and how it has ensured a rapid and steady decline of the once expansive grasslands. I guess it's time to update geography texts in Indian high schools. Or, maybe, they already have. It's been a long time since I was in high school.
