Bringing back Piedmont Prairies (extended version) 

Glad you liked it. It was lots of fun visiting these sites and hearing everyone's stories

Great question. Contacting both directly to indicate your support can certainly help. For counties, many people have had success asking for Piedmont Prairies when they're developing new parks. Orange county in NC is looking a developing a wildflower route as a tourist opportunity along an important stretch of roadside and powerline rights-of-way. We're also working on getting an article in the magazine of NC electrical coops. Certainly open to other ideas. We'll probably send a request for ideas out to the folks on the Piedmont Prairie Newsletter soon.

Thanks, Gage. Lots of great people working on bringing back this important ecosystem now. Seems to be growing everyday.

Have you asked Carrie Radcliffe from the Atlanta Botanical Garden yet? So many of these plants have cool ethnobotanical stories to share.

Great to hear, Joe. Since you're in Georgia, I'd suggest emailing Jennifer Ceska from the State Botanical Garden of Georgia: jceska@uga.edu . She can help with ideas, management recommendations, possible funding sources, etc. We're also working on some landowner resources for the website but they're not quite ready yet.

Naw man! That's Ol' Brushy One String on the guit-fiddle there!
