The Preservation Foundation’s goal in restoring 116-acre Grassy Lake is to establish a sustainable, diverse native plant community to improve the ecological function of critical habitats, including wetlands, floodplain forest, savanna, and prairie. Primary restoration strategies include eradicating the remaining invasive species, which are choking out the wetlands and floodplain forest areas of the preserve, and planting native seeds, shrubs and trees to restore the site’s hydrology and biodiversity.
