Prairie Establishment & Restoration
Remnant and restored prairies provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Deep-rooted prairie plants and grasses absorb rainwater, provide habitat for pollinators and overwintering species, and add months of vibrant color to any landscape. However, successful prairie ecosystems require ongoing management, particularly in the early stages. From residential to college and corporate campuses, our team has the resources and expertise to provide tailored prairie establishment and restoration services.
Eocene’s team of experts begin by assessing the current state of your land, including soil quality, invasive species, water sources and other ecological factors. Based on this assessment, we then create a detailed establishment or restoration plan that aligns with your goals. This plan will outline the steps for installing or restoring your prairie, including a maintenance plan with a strategy to ensure long-term success.
Once native plants and grasses are strong enough to out-compete pressures from invasive species, prairie ecosystems can thrive without much human intervention.
