Beargrass Savannah Site:

The Beargrass Savanah site is a small prairie located west of the Longhouse. The savanah's measurements are 50 feet wide by 33 1/2 feet long.

Its borders include a forest overgrown with Blackberry, Fern and Morningglory, and also a cement alley with dumpster and a path that bridges the west parking lot to the Longhouse.

Across the path is sister Camas Prairie and to the east the high and middle elevations habitat. This peaceful, open, breezy spot is currently being choked by weeds, some morning glory, blackberry and commen grasses. There is a lot of clover looking grasses signifing poor draining soil in our area.

Kimberly and I plan to introduce fescue, and hopefully plant native prairie plants donated by our volenteer garden site at Giddian's Landing. First there is much work to do, pulling up sod, purchasing sand and mulch, and preparing the area.
