The prairie triangle was the most degraded part of the property and the ideal location to introduce native landscaping as a replacement for Eurasian turf grass. The gradual conversion of turf grass lawn to native prairie plantings is creating a blueprint for the introduction of native landscaping techniques in residential settings. The goals are to make the area more rainfall absorbant, establish wildlife habitat and create a visual setting that demonstrates the beauty of native plants.
