	What We Do Missouri Prairie Foundation
		Late summer or fall burns encourage forb (broadleaf plants and wildflowers) regrowth, and a well-designed grazing regime provides a variety of grassland structure so that habitat is available for all the lifecycle needs of ground nesting birds, such as the state endangered Greater-prairie chicken.
		The program held great promise for protecting prairie, but because the money was made available late in the fiscal year and the national rules were not finalized, the State Office in Columbia decided to distribute the funds in a way that made the location of the grassland-- and not the quality-- the determining factor.
		None of this progress would be possible without the consistent cohesiveness of the Grasslands Coalition partners and the willingness of the NRCS to listen and respond to the grassland community.

		Sponsored by the Shaw Nature Reserve; Grow Native!, a program of the Missouri Department of Conservation, and Wild Ones, a volunteer organization that promotes the use of native plants, the challenge was designed to publicize the advantages of landscaping with plants that were growing in the Missouri countryside before the first settlers.
		Scott Woodbury, Whitmire curator of native plants at the Shaw Nature Reserve, collected plants for the project, laid the sidewalk and reinforced a slope on the east side of the house with several boulders shortly before the garden installation.
		One of the strongest features of the design, he feels, is that it allows visitors to walk through the garden either on the flagstone walk or lawn and look closely at the plants.
