Prairie Reconstruction Initiative
The Prairie Reconstruction Initiative (PRI) is a collaboration among practitioners and researchers from more than 30 organizations, including federal, state and local agencies, tribal communities, non-governmental organizations, and private individuals throughout the prairie region. We are committed to learning how to consistently plant a floristically diverse prairie that has minimal weed pressure and maintains its integrity. By sharing our experiences and pooling our data, we can accelerate our collective understanding of prairie reconstruction and uncover key elements in the process to increase the likelihood we all succeed.
