Prairie

Rice County was once rich with native prairie.  There are still remnants of these native plants, however, most of our current native prairie plantings are restorations.  Native prairies provide wildlife habitat, conserve soil, and help protect water quality.

​

Everyone can help our local pollinators by planting a “pocket of prairie”. Follow these simple steps to add native plants to your yard and watch the pollinators visit your plants all summer long!
