Scientific and Natural Areas are the biopreserves of our state: an invaluable legacy of land in all its biological diversity. To work on these sensitive sites is a very special treat, and space is limited! The bluff prairies at Lost Valley contain a series of limestone ridges and dry swales, or lowlands, where a rich collection of native prairie grasses thrives on the ridge crests and upper slopes. This prairie remnant is on the verge of being lost unless timely action is taken. Restoration activities include removing invading trees and shrubs. Efforts at this site will help future generations enjoy the many prairie wildflowers, including prairie smoke, puccoon, bird's foot violets, yellow star grass, blue-eyed grass, and beard-tongue.
