Prairie ecosystems once covered large regions of the Piedmont but now remain only in small pockets of the state. What are piedmont prairies, what happened to them, and why are we working to tend one here today? Join us at Prairie Ridge for this program for ages 8+ to learn about the plants, history, and ecology of piedmont prairies, and explore the active prairie here at the Ecostation. As we go, we will document the wildlife and plants we find and contribute to ongoing collaborative science efforts to understand and monitor the biodiversity of the Piedmont.
