The Peel Compton Foundation

Praries like this one, once covered 200 million acres in North America. Today, less than one percent of that native habitat is left. By restoring these pocket prairies at Osage Park, we are restoring an impressive and complex habitat, that supports a large amount of plants, wildlife, and pollinators. Prarie restoration at Osage Park began in 2021 and is ongoing. The view from this landing will not only highlight the seasonal changes in the prarie, but the yearly increase in plant biodiversity with continued restoration and management efforts. 

Native Tallgrass Prairie

This 12+ acre herbacious wetland was created by beavers in the mid 2010s when they moved in and dammed a tributary to Little Osage Creek. In 2021 with the opening of Osage Park, Habitat Restoration began on the wetland and surrounding praries. Restoration work includes the removal of trash, the removal of invasive plant materials, supplemental plantings of native plants, and periodic brush hogging. The view from this landing will show seasonal changes in the wetland flora and water level and improvement through ongoing habitat restoration and management.
