Practices and Impacts
- The grassland habitat on site is monitored several times each August, where flowering plants, milkweed abundance and pollinator species are noted. A mix of prescribed burns, herbicidal spot treatment and mowing are implemented to control the spread of invasive species and to maximize native species growth on-site.
