The first single, comprehensive source for locating North American
public prairies, grasslands, and savannas, Prairie Directory of
North America is a guide unlike any other. First published in 2001,
the book uniquely catalogs the continent's most well-known prairie
sites by country and state for easy reference. With the addition of
over three hundred newly located, preserved, or restored sites, the
second edition is the prairie enthusiast's ideal guide to locating
countless North American sites-from the well-documented to the
remote. Readers can use the guide to plan both convenient visits to
close-to-home prairies and journeys to sites well across the
continent. Also included is an expanded state-by-state index, ideal
for locating specific prairies in any given state.
The victim of destructive plowing and construction at the hands of
European settlers, North American grassland ecosystems that once
spanned the entire continent have suffered degradation and
fragmentation. With the Prairie Directory as a guide, however,
ecologists, environmental scientists, and tourists can experience
the essence of this ancient ecosystem and, in some locations, even
its vastness. The book lists tiny, hidden half-acre prairies spared
by the plow as well as popular sites covering millions of acres. It
documents prairies hidden deep in forests or in plain sight in
American Indian reservations. The only one of its kind, this book
will allow readers to experience the prairie as a colorful,
fragrant, wildlife-rich North American landscape.
