Landowner Guidebooks
Teams of conservation specialists have come together to produce two extensive guide for landowners wishing to restore or create prairie or oak woodland habitat on their land. The guides provide background information on prairies and oak woodlands, including discussions on soils, plants and animals. Most importantly, the guides give step-by-step directions on how to plan and implement prairie and oak woodland restorations on both residential and working lands.
You can also find resources for anything else you might need while planning a restoration project: native plant suppliers, weed control options, funding and incentive programs, and more. These are great resources that were produced with funding from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Prairie Guide) and the Bureau of Land Management (Oak Guide).
A variety of incentives and grants are available for landowners with prairie and oak habitats. The above "Landowner Incentives" brouchure illustrates many of the opportunities that promote conservation on private lands.
