What’s in a Name
Plover Prairie Addition is situated between the East and West Units of Plover Prairie. It shares a border with the West Unit of Plover Prairie and one corner is adjacent to a corner of the East Unit. It may be appropriate to consider this a part of the West Unit. However, The Nature Conservancy continues to call it Plover Prairie Addition and treats it separately on their Web site.
