EDUCATION, Prairie Fact:
Once covering the entire mid-section of our country, tallgrass prairie, with three-fourths of its biomass underground, created some of the most productive soils in the world. That legacy, now known as the Corn Belt is the very foundation of our Midwestern economy and why we pay less of our income for food than almost any other nation! INVOLVEMENT:
GHF has created
a scholarship fund in Rachel Snyder's memory to further our knowlege of prairies. PRESERVATION:
GHF has an ongoing program called Groundhogs that does prairie
management and maintenance. |
