Curtis Prairie at The University of Wisconsin Arboretum
The University of Wisconsin-Madison arboretum consists of 1,260 acres located among a glacial lake, forest, and wetlands. It boasts of an extensive collection of native tree and shrub
species with the world's finest lilac collection. But the star attraction is the Curtis prairie. The?Curtis prairie, a tall grass prairie, with 73 acres, is the world's first and oldest restored prairie. This prairie is a prime example of a deep-soil tall grass prairie that once existed in the rich, loess soil of the heartland of America. It is a success story of the restoration of an ecological plant community that has long been extinct. Visitors to the Curtis prairie will see a representation of what a pre-settlement Wisconsin was like.Once upon a time, there were 2.1 million acres of prairie land in Wisconsin. Now only scattered remnants remain. The prairie in North America extended from central Texas to southern Saskatchewan, encompassing many states in the Great Central Plains. Today, most of the prairie is gone; converted into farms and ranches for people and livestock. Less than 2% of our land?is native, untouched land. By preserving the prairie, we are preserving a bit of America's heritage. Before the end of the 19th century, when prairies still exist, animals abound. The Great Plains at that time, was similar to the current day African Serengeti, where thousands of wild animals roam. Bison, the North American elk, the prairie chicken, sage grouse, prairie dog, and wolves roamed and thrived. Now many of these animals are either extinct or endangered. Ecological restoration of this tall grass prairie from horse pasture to its previous glory is no small feat. This is a separate science all by itself, and it took decades of dedicated work by naturalists and scientists to bring back our American prairie. Native and invasive species?are painstakingly identified and studied. Invasive species are controlled with manipulation of hydrology shifts, soil structure and preferences; with buffer zones to tilt in favor of growth of native prairie vegetation. Annual prairie management and maintenance requires use of prescribed fire to prevent invasive species and trees?from taking hold- just as it was done during the time when Native Americans inhabited the land. In early fall, see the glorious color display of big bluestem grass and Indian grass, all towering 7-8 feet tall. An untrained eye sees only tall grass, but there are at least 300 or more species of native flowering plants growing there, blossoming from April to October. Among these, prairie insects, small animals and birds such as the red-tailed hawk reside and thrive. This UW-Madison Curtis prairie is one to visit and appreciate. http://www.igardendigest.com
