Michigan’s vanishing prairies are making a comeback at this stunning nature preserve

ROCKFORD, Mich. – Dozens of volunteers recently worked to complete seeding on the final acres of a major prairie restoration project at Saul Lake Bog Nature Preserve in West Michigan.

The Land Conservancy of West Michigan has worked for 25 years to restore native tallgrass prairie habitat at the property. The site initially was acquired in 1989 to protect the sensitive bog ecosystem at an old farmstead.
