MY PARKS SERIES: INDIANA’S PRAIRIE PAST

Before corn was planted and soybean seed sown, native prairie made up 15% of Indiana’s landscape. Vast expanses of grass mixed with forbs and the occasional resilient oak created prairie landscapes controlled by grazing and fire. Join us on an interpretive walk through the restored prairie at West Park. You will be led into the past and learn about what animals controlled these native landscapes, and how they are controlled in the present.
