Description
Sam Anderson, research associate, UW–Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. Remnant prairies escaped the worst impacts of settlement, retaining original populations of native species in highly diverse communities. But remnants are not in stasis – they change through time and in response to management and disturbance. See how long-term monitoring and management of Arboretum prairie remnants give us insight into some of our oldest ecosystems. Fee: $10. Register by January 31.
