Canaan Sutton will lead us through this amazing corner of our Preserve, explaining the adaptions plants needed to live in this shallow prairie soil.
Canaan will discuss adaptions of the plants that live on our own wonderful example of a limestone prairie at 1787 Holford on the Limestone Loop Trail.
On this special corner of our prairie, limestone lays only inches under the rich soil and creates its own ecosystem that is entirely different from other parts of our prairie. You may note white chalk limestone outcrops throughout the area. The grasses, trees, and shrubs growing there have adapted to flourish in these soil conditions. Note that Spring Creek itself flows over a bed of solid limestone.
