Wordless Wednesday: Turin Prairie

This photo of Turin Prairie was taken at this past weekend’s Loess Hills Prairie Seminar. The seminar consisted of nearly 100 people who got a taste of what this 425-acre project is about. About 65 volunteers donated their time to clear out Cedar trees from a steep, prominent hill for the Great Race Against Shade (G.R.A.S.S.) to foster the health for native prairie. The volunteers included our land stewardship interns and staff, Nature Conservancy interns, the DNR trails crew, plus DNR staff and assorted volunteers including our own board member Greg Grupp.
