Nonnative Species

The sun rise seen between the prairie grass.


As part of the ongoing effort to maintain 100 acres of restored tallgrass prairie, Homestead National Historical Park monitors invasive plant species. These species are controlled in a variety of ways, including mowing, selective use of herbicides, and prescribed burning. The goal is to present a landscape that is as historically accurate as possible.
