Nachusa Grasslands Significance |
|
The purpose of Nachusa Grasslands is to protect and restore rare habitats and to serve as an influence, inspiration, and resource for other conservation partners, researchers, and the public.
|
Nachusa Grasslands is significant because the site contains numerous prairie remnants, residuals of the most threatened major ecosystem in the world. It is an unusually diverse mosaic of prairie, wetlands, and savannas which encompasses a rich diversity of plants, birds, reptiles, insects, mammals, and interesting geological features.
Nachusa Grasslands is a large scale, high-quality restoration effort; the result of a unique collaboration between staff and volunteers.
