2024 Prairie Restoration, Phase 3 (Nov 2023 - July 2024), HIAH

It has been said that land restoration is a journey, not a destination. Since the Historic Indian Agency House’s last prairie update, our journey to protect and expand the site’s rare natural landscape has witnessed significant progress. Enjoy some Phase 3 project snapshots.

Good for you. It's wonderful to see a little bit of the original prairie revived. I live on what was once an immense short grass prairie. Most original plants are gone, replaced by invasive plants from around the world, especially Russia! Russian olives. Russian thistle, etc. Imagine the West with no tumbleweeds, as it once was.
