Kevin,

 

Is the Florida and Orchard prairie planting now under your purview at the arboretum?

 

No, however we help out as needed - brush pick up, shrub cutting. John Marlin is the best source for info about management etc….

Nathan Hudson and I have mowed the prairie in early spring the past few years. I’m willing to do that again in lieu of prescribed fire if desired.

 

Great, probably due for a prescribed fire. 

Let us know if we can assist?

 

Best,

Jamie
