April's Monthly Prairie
Walk--Plants of the Commons Ford Prairie
Bill Carr, retired botanist at The Nature Conservancy, now
owner of Acme Botanical Services, led a plant walk at Commons Ford Prairie on
April 20, 2014. Bill identified over 65 plant species, most of which were
native. The diversity, as well as the high percentage of native plants, is due
to the restoration efforts of Commons
Ford Prairie Restoration Organization. The participants enjoyed Bill's
encyclopedic knowledge of native plants and botany, as well as his enthusiasm
and sense of fun.
