How to Restore a Native Prairie

A prairie is an ecological system dominated by grasses, common in areas where there's not enough rainfall to support trees (such as the Great Plains of the United States and Canada). Planting a native prairie is an endeavor worthy of your time and effort. Not only does it increase biodiversity of native plant species and conserve rapidly disappearing topsoil but a prairie is also low-maintenance (in comparison to a lawn, thus reducing resource consumption and increasing free time) and aesthetically pleasing once mature. Following this outline, you will be able to plant, maintain, and restore a native prairie.
