Grassland Restoration Network Workshop

Join us in Lawrence, Kansas, to share insights from grassland restoration work, research, and outreach while experiencing this unique ecotone region. Small remnant prairies in eastern Kansas host exceptional levels of plant diversity, and the combination of conservation and working lands create a heterogeneous landscape relevant to many restoration opportunities and challenges. Local experts will share their knowledge of ethnobotany, plant ecology, biodiversity, microbiomes, fungi, and feedback in soil in the context of restoring grasslands. A field tour of the KU Field Station will showcase a medicinal plant garden; research on the interactive effects of climate, mycorrhizae, and biodiversity on restored prairie; and a participatory art experience that applies cultural burning in a restored grassland.

Details and registration information coming in May 2025.
