The goal for this project is to successfully restore the low mow site at Orchard Downs Housing Facility to prairie garden that has more function and biodiversity. This project will incorporate at least 25 native plant species, create habitat for wildlife and pollinators, and increase biodiversity overall. This teams desired outcome for this project is to have a successful prairie garden in four years. Also, this project team wants to end this project knowing that students have gained some hands-on experience and know how to restore a site.

Another goal of this project is to educate students on native American history. This project will include students in every step of the restoration process. This includes seed collecting, weeding, identifying plant species, spreading the seeds, growing seeds in the greenhouse, planting the plugs, and hosting events in support of the project. Additionally, students will benefit by teaching them restoration skills needed if pursuing a career in restoration. This will also give students a chance to appreciate nature through the process of restoring the plot.
