      And actually in some places prarieland is probably more important for conservation.

      Ie. plant a couple of native fruit trees for, dig a small perrenial pond and add some rocks so amphibians can feel safe, and sprinkle in seeds for native grasses, especially edible ones and let nature do it’s work.
