Today's podcast is going to feature a very special prairie enthusiast, yes, we mean that literally. Prairie enthusiasts are not just people who drive around getting excited any time they see grasses and wildflowers blowing in the wind. They are groups of dedicated individuals who take their personal time to educate, protect, and restore prairie and savanna habitats in the Upper Midwest. In short, they're a prairie army equipped with drip torches, clippers, and knowledge. Just the kind of army you want when you're working to preserve this amazing landscape. We'll chat with prairie enthusiast and Minnesota landowner, Henry Panowitsch, about his experiences with the prairie and how he first fell in love with this incredible landscape.
