About this title

Synopsis

By following scientists who are working on the eight-thousand-acre Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa, readers learn where the vision for bringing back prairie land came from and how a dedicated group is working to turn this vision into reality, from locating seeds of native prairie plants to re-introducing animals such as bison, elk, and butterflies.
