The Tallgrass Prairie is a remarkable ecological treasure that boasts an impressive array of biodiversity. It is home to a diverse range of reptiles, birds, butterflies, and tree species, making it one of the top ten ecoregions in the world in terms of its richness in these species. The prairie's survival and renewal are intricately linked to the phenomenon of fires. These natural disturbances play a crucial role in preventing the prairie from transforming into a dense forest. By burning the vegetation, fires release nutrients and promote new growth, which in turn fosters a diverse array of plant species.
In less than 5 acres, the Tallgrass Prairie is home to over 100 different plant species. These plants have adapted to the unique conditions of the prairie, including the frequent fires and nutrient-poor soil. The prairie's rich biodiversity is not only beneficial to the various species that call it home but also to humans.
