Green Time show 404, Missouri Native Grassland Conservation. Features local documentary about Missouri prairies and efforts at UMSL to recreate prairie areas. Don Fitz discusses prairies and their advantages with Jay Fish, of UMSL’s Campus Honors Environmental Research Program, and Missouri Prairie Foundation’s Jon Wingo. They discuss how preserving Missouri’s prairies means preserving the rich biodiversity of plant, insect, mammal and other life in the state.
Note: The CHERP Prairie Rehabilitation Interpretive Area was made possible in part by a Wild Ones grant, and is the site of our August meeting.
