Prairie Restoration - 03/16/16 02:10 PM
We are undergoing a restoration project on our property where we are trying to kill off all exotic grasses and restore native prairie land habitat for wildlife. Last fall we sprayed a 40 acre pasture to kill off the grasses and 2 weeks ago we planted a custom native seed mix recommneded by TPWD biologist. The biologist told us it will take about 2 seasons to really see the change in the landscape. The mixture consists of big bluestem, little bluestem, sideoats grama, wildrye, indiangrass, green sprangletop, Illinois bundleflower, purple prairie clover, daisy engelmann, partridge peas, blackeyed susan, mexican hat, coreopsis, and maximilian sunflower. We got the seed paid for through Western Navarro Bobwhite Restoration Initiative.
