Restoring native habitat on ground that was largely cool weather grasses harvested for animal forage. Have now been working on the project for three growing seasons. Invasives were removed and efforts to control them continues. Large number of native plants and plugs were planted and some areas were seeded with native flower seeds. Not much effort at cultivation - where natives come up they are fostered, where invasives come up they are suppressed. It is now a meadow in the early stages of the succession process forest.
We now have continuous bloom from May into October. We have recorded over 220 species of moths and butterflies as well as scores of bee, wasp, fly, beetle and bug (Hemiptera) species.
