Prairie companions: UW-Green Bay ecology class works at restoring Keith White Prairie

Equipped with work boots, buckets and loppers, UW-Green Bay Prof. Amy Wolf (NAS) and her Principles of Ecology students continued the restoration and maintenance of UW-Green Bay’s Keith White Prairie Oct. 4. Students worked to remove invasive and woody species and collect seeds. They also worked in the greenhouse preparing plants donated by Prairie Nursery (owned by UW-Green Bay alumnus Neil Diboll), for transplanting. Ecologist Bobbie Webster, Cofrin Center for Biodiversity Natural Areas, assisted with the project.
