Before being acquired by NWACC this
area was used as farmland, mainly for
raising cattle. Before that it was a natural
Tall Grass prairie, where most of our
plants may have grown wild.
Benton county’s natural areas
are disappearing at an alarming
rate. The Tall Grass Prairie will
soon disappear completely. We
went into this project with the
hopes of preserving this
habitat for future students and
anyone who enjoys these beautiful
plants.
