“Without imagination---without creativity---without courage---the best prairie restorations don't happen. The rewards don't always come in our lifetime... .

“By sharing it with others, you help ensure that the tallgrass prairie continues to delight future generations. By growing in your knowledge of prairie, you develop a better understanding of the natural world.

Your adventure is only beginning.”
