Native Prairie Restoration Project
  Fond du Lac, Wisconsin 

At one time, most of Fond du Lac County was covered by prairie - native grasslands that were home to bison, prairie chickens, bobolinks and a variety of other wildlife.  On the UW Fond du Lac campus, a project has been under way to reestablish the native prairie plants that once grew on this site.  

The project began in 1991 as an effort to reestablish a native plant arboretum representing the original plant communities of Wisconsin.  At present, 37 acres of native prairie grasses and wildflowers have been established, 2 wildlife ponds have been developed and trees have been planted.
