WORKSHOPS:
IOWA’S ROADSIDE PRAIRIES
Before white man arrived, Iowa was almost all prairie. Only about one percent remains. To understand about the loss and restoration of prairie, we must learn about the prairie ecology, investigate and understand the issues involved, then explore actions to resolve the issues.
Workshops will prepare teachers to enable students to understand the ecology, issues, and action of establishing roadside and trail prairies. Colorful educational DOT posters and books will be provided as resources.
