About
Apr 2, 2020 What a place to be on the prairie! blanketflower Prairie SNA is a special place. It sits right at the divide of two ecological provinces: prairie and broadleaf forest. You can see prairie species here that are at the west end of their range, and forest species that are at the east end of their range. It sure makes for a wonderful mosaic of life. mndnr.gov/snas/sna02027 |
