The University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center is pleased to announce that PrairieU, a program about native prairie ecology, has a dynamic presence on the Internet. The PrairieU web site provides information about native prairie restoration, as well as ways to become involved with the program.

As the PrairieU program grows, so will the web site. We invite you to interact with PrairieU by signing up to post comments about the restoration and research work being conducted on the the native prairie site.

Educators are especially encouraged to visit the PrairieU web site often. The web site is a valuable tool for teaching about prairie science and ecology. We will add more information and resources in the coming months that will enhance native prairie education in classrooms of all levels.
