About the Program
Prairie Park, a part of Marathon Petroleum Corporation, is located on the outskirts of Minneapolis, Minnesota .

Unfortunately, the site is located in an urban/suburban area where pollinator habitat has been greatly reduced. To help address this issue, the team manages a 4.7-acre grassland to benefit native species.
Practices and Impacts
- Team members use adaptive management including controlled burns to control for invasive species and maintain plant diversity.
- Additionally, the team monitors a grassland habitat to ensure native species composition and understand the utility to native pollinators.
