This project is part of an ongoing relationship between the Nature Conservancy and MNL to harvest Bluestem Natural and Scientific Area’s native prairie to propagate around the Agassiz beach ridge in Northwestern Minnesota. This SNA is revered booming ground for the disappearing Prairie Chickens that once burgeoned this area. It is because of Bluestem’s unique protection that allows plant species of special concern to remain thriving in this subtly diverse ecosystem.
