Tallgrass Prairie Center

The Tallgrass Prairie Center empowers people to value and restore resilient, diverse tallgrass prairie. We aim to: 1. Increase the capacity of partners and stakeholders to establish and protect native perennial vegetation and restore ecosystem services in the tallgrass prairie region. 2. Increase awareness and appreciation of the Tallgrass Prairie Ecosystem, and understanding of its significance to society. 

The primary programs of the Center are Research and Restoration, Iowa Roadside Management (IRM), Plant Materials, and Prairie on Farms. We occasionally host events open to outside volunteers. Past events have included prairie seed harvesting, woody vegetation removal, and seed cleaning. Future events will be posted through this page.
