Eastern Tallgrass Prairie
Title: Eastern Tallgrass Prairie

Contact: Amelia Hansen

Description: Watercolor and colored pencil illustration of the eastern tallgrass prairie habitat (detail of a larger painting). Due to more abundant rainfall, prairies occurring in areas east of the Mississippi River are able to support more luxuriant growth and are called 'tallgrass prairies'. These prairies are characterized by grasses such as big bluestem, Indian grass, and switchgrass, along with a wide variety of forbs and flowering plants. Prior to settlement, tallgrass prairies occurred in limited parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, any place where climate and fire partnered to keep woody plants from invading. Tallgrass prairie is now extremely rare and many of the associated species are endangered or extirpated. Currently, there are quite a few tallgrass restoration projects underway in all of these states.
