Guided Tour of a Prairie Restoration

Here is an actual prairie restoration conducted by Midwest Prairies.

	When we started, vegetation consisted of Canada thistle, burdock, buckthorn, and Canada Goldenrod among other weeds.
	Four applications of Roundup throughout the summer of 1999 eliminated most of the weeds during the site preparation process.
	August 2005 -- This prairie is in it's 4th growing season.
	Occasional burns help keep the shrubs and invasive species under control.
	A high-diversity mix of native forbs and grasses was seeded April 2000 with our Tye No-till drill. The following year subsequent weeds were controlled by mowing several times.
