After 20 years of prairie reconstruction work, the White Family Prairie is a diverse ecosystem of plants, drawing numerous types of wildlife. The privately owned prairie is located at the private residence of Gerald White.
At 11 acres this prairie has undergone years of controlled burns to control invasive species and promote native plants. A former crop field was seeded to prairie in June 2004.
A recent survey by a field botanist has helped identify many common and uncommon species of plants that we will show our visitors during our two tour dates. The peak blooming period generally occurs the first two weeks of July.
