Returning To Our Prairie “Roots”
Join us as we explore the unique adaptations of prairie plants and learn why they are important to agriculture. Discover how they are now used for pollinator recovery, nutrient loss protection, and soil health improvement. Come learn about these amazing native plants through literature connections, hands on activities you can take back to your classroom that can be used across the curriculum to address STEM, NGSS and Common Core concepts.
