Note the heavy, contorted side branches. In spite of their relatively small size, these trees could easily be 200+ years old as they are growing in extremely harsh conditions and are very slow growing. In the background thicket, such trees can still be found. Removal of cedar thickets and leaving these old oaks, combined with restoration of fire, has been demonstrated to do an effective job of restoring some limestone savanna in the Nashville Basin.

Without maintenance they will disappear. In this photo, the Tennessee Division of Natural Areas uses prescribed burning to maintain May Prairie State Natural Area, Coffee Co., Tennessee. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/597561f520099e96a39b2d12/1500865038590/ Restoration At Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, Cumberland Co., Tennessee, thousands of acres of formerly closed-canopied forests have been restored to high-quality oak savanna. In recent years shortleaf pine has been regenerating and numerous rare plant and animal species have been documented. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/597564c73e00be4843effa96/1500865743415/ Restoration This shortleaf pine-post oak savanna at Bridgestone-Firestone Centennial Wilderness, Cumberland Co., Tennessee was a loblolly pine plantation not too many years ago. Prescribed burning applied every one to two years following harvesting of the pine has led to dramatic recovery of this imperiled ecosystem. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/59755f432e69cf20a286e98e/1500864375562/ Restoration In some areas, large expanses of close-canopied forest that we know were open savannas historically can be restored with a combination of selective canopy thinning and prescribed burning. For example, the broad expanses on top of the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee respond very well to thinning and burning and can be reverted to high quality shortleaf pine-post oak savanna. https://www.segrasslands.org/research daily 0.75 2017-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/597574c7440243f8d19af031/1500869892192/ Research Studies of tree rings help reveal fire histories and improve our understanding of the role of fire in maintaining natural areas (photo: Michael Stambaugh). This section of post oak is from Arnold Air Force Base, Coffee Co., Tennessee. Studies of cores from this area by researchers from the University of Missouri revealed that fires burned on average every 3-5 years since the early 1600s, providing enough fire to maintain oak savanna. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5975771a914e6b785048d2c7/1500870438745/ Research The exploration of the South's grasslands continues to yield new discoveries. Researchers at the Mississippi Entomological Museum discovered this new moth at a single small prairie remnant in Starkville, Mississippi. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5975728b6b8f5b2952022956/1500869277455/ Research Plant specimens, like those at left, yield important ecological information. We can assign a grassland fidelity index score to all plant species. A species with a 0 requires forests. A species with a 10 requires nearly pristine grasslands. Species, like the one at left, would receive a score of 7 or higher, meaning it is a grassland conservative species. The specimen label can be databased and georeferenced. We can then map these specimens to see exactly where remnant grasslands are located or were located historically. This is one area of research that can help us understand where our grasslands are or were in the recent past. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/597573d79f7456e02388b6da/1500869608954/ Research For many grassland systems in the South we still don't have basic information about floristic composition, community ecology, or importance as food or habitat to various animal species. Here, SGI grassland ecologist Devin Rodgers works with a student from Austin Peay State University to set up a vegetation plot. https://www.segrasslands.org/rescue daily 0.75 2017-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/59757b9e6f4ca31f2564ad33/1500871596599/ Rescue After the prairie above was moved to its new home, it was discovered that nearly 100% of the species known to occur at this prairie prior to the move survived the relocation. Although prairie relocation should be done only as a last resort, this provides an option for rescue of some deep-soiled types of grasslands. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5975798d440243f8d19b1c4c/1500871070521/ Rescue One of Kentucky's last known clumps of royal catchfly (Silene regia) hangs on perilously along a fencerow in Hart County. This is all that is left to remind us that prairie once covered this landscape. How long will it be before a passerby digs the only plant left or a county road crew sprays it with herbicide? Can this plant survive 5, 10, or 25 years?

To do so, we aim to piece together grasslands from existing agricultural landscapes to create grassland preserves ranging from 500-5,000 acres. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/59757208e3df28d888a1145c/1500869135924/ Recreation Working with our partners at Roundstone Native Seed, we are in the process of re-creating a high-quality Pennyroyal Plain Post Oak Savanna on 15-acres at Dunbar Cave State Park, Clarksville, Montgomery Co., Tennessee. In late May 2017 we planted two mixes of 50 species of regional genotype native prairie species. In coming years, we will work to restore this to the South's most diverse re-created grassland with a seed mix of 300 species. https://www.segrasslands.org/fieldtrip-tour daily 0.75 2017-05-04 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5909625386e6c00e33e100d4/1493787219971/Baker+Prairie.jpg Fieldtrip Tour https://www.segrasslands.org/guide-to-the-grasslands-of-the-midsouth daily 0.75 2017-05-29 https://www.segrasslands.org/the-southeastern-grasslands-initiative daily 0.75 2017-05-13 https://www.segrasslands.org/arcgis-shapefiles daily 0.75 2018-03-20 https://www.segrasslands.org/story-map daily 0.75 2017-05-04 https://www.segrasslands.org/conservation-biology daily 0.75 2018-01-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5916a72346c3c45c5c711d49/1494656806199/xyris+tennesseensis.jpg Conservation Biology https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a308087e4966b460f806f2b/1513128184198/he_vert1.jpg Conservation Biology https://www.segrasslands.org/southeastern-grasslands-1 daily 0.75 2018-05-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/59096d506a496317a4d46d38/59096da9b3db2bae2d77cf91/1512927304409/Mt+Rogers.jpg Blue Ridge Mountains Grassland Gallery - Blue Ridge Mountains Seepage Bog, Grayson Highlands State Park, Grayson Co., VA Photo: Dwayne Estes https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/59096d506a496317a4d46d38/590ace97be6594e6a3144d96/1526286003952/Bluff+Mtn.png Blue Ridge Mountains Grassland Gallery - Blue Ridge Mountains Mafic Fen, Bluff Mountain, Ashe Co., NC https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/59096d506a496317a4d46d38/590acfbe6a4963e28190a078/1526286004225/Buck+Creek.png Blue Ridge Mountains Grassland Gallery - Blue Ridge Mountains Serpentine Barren, Buck Creek Barren, Clay Co., NC Credit: Alan Cressler https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/59096d506a496317a4d46d38/590acfda6a4963e28190a16e/1526286004279/French+Broad.png Blue Ridge Mountains Grassland Gallery - Blue Ridge Mountains Shale Woodlands, French Broad River, Cocke Co., TN Photo: Dwayne Estes https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/59096d506a496317a4d46d38/590ad0036a4963e28190a2bd/1526286004574/Green+Pitcher+Plant.png Blue Ridge Mountains Grassland Gallery - Southern Blue Ridge Mountains Montane Basin Ecoregion Acidic Seepage Meadow with Green Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia oreophila), Towns Co., North Carolina.

This map shows the approximate outline of the Southeastern Grasslands Initiative focal region. Note that the northern and western boundaries are subject to revision. Areas with a high degree of historical grasslands are indicated by the light brown color. This does not imply that all of the colored regions consisted of grasslands, only that grasslands of various types occurred in the region. This map is general and there are undoubtedly other regions we've neglected to include. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5909aa6be6f2e1e60bb0d9d3/1493805690112/ Why Southern Grasslands? https://www.segrasslands.org/we-need-your-help daily 0.75 2018-03-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5909b84e2994cad252aea2d7/1493809235805/suther.png We Need Your Help https://www.segrasslands.org/preservation daily 0.75 2017-07-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/59755ab1bf629a8e3d0a45ad/1500863176793/ Preservation 250-year-old redder trees dot privately owned Nine-Acre Barren in Decatur Co., Tennessee, a property that is located in an area with rapid development.

Mapping Landmarks Place names lend important clues to historical vegetation. Many landmarks were named early in a region’s history, often dating back to first settlement. Names such as Barren Plains, Prairie Creek, Price’s Meadow, Pleasant View, Oak Grove, Strawberry Plains, Glade Branch, Hazel Green, Meadow Creek, and Crab Orchard refer to historical grasslands. With GIS it is now possible to query place names. Mapping these could reveal patterns to help us better understand historical locations of grasslands, especially ones not previously considered. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f2c1cf9619a5160af37b4/1515138109040/220px-Franc%CC%A7ois_Andre%CC%81_Michaux.png Mapping Historical Grasslands - Documenting   Historical Descriptions Continued work is needed to search historical writings, unpublished early journals, notes by early settlers, county histories, and state and federal archives to uncover rich quotes that document and describe the early landscape of the Southeast. SGI is working to compile quotes like the one below from Tennessee. Eventually, these will be part of an interactive geospatial database. "The top of the mountain is...a vast upland prairie, covered with a most luxuriant growth of native grasses, pastured over as far as the eye could see, with numerous herds of deer, elk and buffalo, gamboling in playful security over these secluded plains….” (Ramsey 1853) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f42bc0d9297d3c32bfa98/1515144002687/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+3.17.19+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands - Mapping Distribution of Grassland Species Thousands of species of plants and animals in the eastern US occur only in open grasslands and related communities. Recently, the National Science Foundation has funded a collaboration of more than 115 herbaria of the Southeast to digitize more than 4.5 million specimens of plants. Mapping these specimens, some of which date to the early 1800s, can help reveal the original distribution of grasslands in the South. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f38f1ec212d3891678718/1516336977762/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+2.35.44+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands - Mapping Grassland Remnants Paul Nelson of the Central Hardwoods Joint Venture has completed mapping tens of thousands of acres of rocky grasslands (glades) of Missouri and Arkansas. Similar mapping efforts are urgently needed for other regions within SGI's focal area. Before we can fully address conservation of our grasslands, we have to know what remains. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f3a6f0d9297d3c32b5ee6/1515141780497/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+2.41.44+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f328124a6948ca5bdece2/1515139752775/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+2.08.07+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands - Mining GLO Land Survey Maps As the western parts of the Southeast and adjacent portions of the Midwest were being settled in the early 19 century, Government Land Office (GLO) surveyors mapped areas in 1 square-mile blocks. They would make detailed notes of the landscape, vegetation, and often would map prairies. Dr. John Barone (Columbus State University, GA) has been leading the charge to mine these old surveys and has been mapping prairies in GIS. He has completed mapping for much of Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f38a20d9297d3c32b3ce9/1515141297589/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+2.34.18+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands - Witness Tree Records Some Southeastern states used a different survey method from the GLO mapping method noted above. Instead, they surveyed individual properties and used trees or other markers to denote property boundaries. The types of trees or lack of trees can be used to infer location of historical grasslands. Decades of work remains to be done to mine these data from state and county archives and to enter these data into geospatial databases. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5a4f355d8165f5c5be1f70cc/1515140498177/Screen+Shot+2018-01-05+at+2.16.03+AM.png Mapping Historical Grasslands https://www.segrasslands.org/rare-species-survey-mapping daily 0.75 2017-05-29 https://www.segrasslands.org/management-plans-preserve-design daily 0.75 2017-07-24 https://www.segrasslands.org/restoration-ecology daily 0.75 2018-01-05 https://www.segrasslands.org/dendroecology daily 0.75 2017-05-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5916ac263a0411c1023d19b0/1494658113342/dendro.png Dendroecology https://www.segrasslands.org/seed-source-development daily 0.75 2017-06-01 https://www.segrasslands.org/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2017-12-28 https://www.segrasslands.org/what-is-sgi daily 0.75 2018-03-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/591161149f7456380c70fd9a/1494311233898/Screen+Shot+2017-05-09+at+1.26.14+AM.png What is SGI? https://www.segrasslands.org/arkansas-valley-grasslands daily 0.75 2018-04-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/591689bcbebafb3a84db0478/1512926919153/Picture1.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: Theo Witsell https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/591689cbbebafb3a84db04ee/1494649301562/Cherokee+Prairie.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597a80b1e58c6280d4e93efa/1512926897484/Screen+Shot+2017-07-27+at+7.09.02+PM.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: William Dark Photography https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597a80ea579fb3cca0b0a1df/1512926987666/Pine-Oak+Savanna+1_Witsell.JPG Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: Theo Witsell https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597a8f623a0411960d57dbea/1501204337918/Screen+Shot+2017-07-27+at+8.09.44+PM.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597a8f706b8f5b23f70c774b/1512926928001/Screen+Shot+2017-07-27+at+8.08.19+PM.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: Theo Witsell https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597a8f90ff7c509fce4811c4/1501204386632/Screen+Shot+2017-07-27+at+8.05.11+PM.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/597abe823e00be451917fe7a/1501216404621/Screen+Shot+2017-07-27+at+8.10.31+PM.png Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/5a224a0cf9619ac01bd397fe/1512926906670/prairie+wallpaper_Craig+Fraiser.jpg Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: Craig Fraiser https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/5a224a19c83025304274fd47/1512926971693/Craft+Prairie+AR.jpg Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery Credit: Reed Noss https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5916877917bffc6da9ee27e9/5a23a1af0d9297cfbf76987f/1524371607701/Fig+19_Saline+Barrens+and+Savanna_Fort+Chaffee_Witsell.jpg Arkansas Valley Grasslands Gallery - Arkansas Valley Saline Glade.

It is currently known from scattered populations throughout the Ohio River Valley from West Virginia to the Ozarks and is most common in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky where incidentally there are other sites known as "Clover Bottom." The species is thought to have declined drastically in the past two centuries after the loss of American Bison. Many of the species which serve as indicators for habitat of Running Buffalo Clover at known sites in Kentucky and Ohio are also commonly found on or near Stones River Bend Park, including Bur Oak, Chinkapin Oak, and MacGregor's Wild Rye. We will dedicate a significant amount of time searching for this species to see if we can uncover the true species behind "Clover Bottom." Such a find would be a true conservation victory and would add a significant element of importance to the biodiversity and ecology of Stones River Bend Park. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad8436188251b1250acb2c6/1524122517340/Screen+Shot+2018-04-15+at+12.25.02+PM.png Stones River Bend Park We will use the mobile app iNaturalist to record botanical data for both Stones River Bend Park and Southeast Park. This map shows records that have been entered into iNaturalist for Percy Werner Park. Most of these records have been entered by members of the general public. This system makes it easy for people of all ages, including children, to contribute to the documentation of biodiversity at these parks. Thus, this project has great potential to be highly engaging for citizens who live near these parks. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad848b40e2e728c58d1a16f/1524123847267/Screen+Shot+2018-04-19+at+2.43.21+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4c0b2b6a28af3edb091e/5aaf508b88251b5630819659/1521438917389/Mason%2BBrock.jpg Stones River Bend Park - Mason Brock (SGI Grassland Biodiversity Explorer) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4c0b2b6a28af3edb091e/5aaf4c0b758d463a22610626/1521437864714/Theo.png Stones River Bend Park - Theo Witsell M.S.

Large, scattered bur and chinkapin oaks, elms, hackberry and honeylocust now spread over a grassy pasture dominated by Eurasian cool-season grasses, namely fescue. In this scene, native rye grass (Elymus) can be seen in the foreground. Such scenes may one day prove to be excellent sites for restoring the historical savannas that once covered the rolling hills in and around Nashville. Before that happens, an ecological assessment is needed to determine if there are existing elements that should be protected, restored, or enhanced. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5aab54ec1ae6cf1e323b1cdc/1521273613856/Screen+Shot+2018-03-16+at+12.23.09+AM.png Stones River Bend Park Draft map of the Stones River Bend Park from the master plan. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad8405c8a922d956d959896/1524121725344/Screen+Shot+2018-04-19+at+2.05.04+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5aacd5e51ae6cf0c78a1af38/1521276401985/Turkey-Hunter-9.5-%40-300.jpg Stones River Bend Park This painting by local artist David Wright depicts the early longhunters who ventured into the Nashville area in the 1770s.

In the Park Master Plan, it was assumed that Clover Bottom was named for White Clover (Trifolium repens), a European white clover introduced to the U.S. in colonial times. However, a white clover was already present in the river bottom at the time of Donelson's settlement. The site was obviously open since he planted corn upon his arrival indicating he did not have to clear away forest. It is quite unlikely that the common white clover that is so ubiquitous today would have been there. Instead, it is most likely that the clover for which Clover Bottom is named, is actually the Running Buffalo Clover (Trifolium stoloniferum). Similar "clover bottom" reports have come from the floodplain of the Kentucky River in the Kentucky Bluegrass. Above: photo of flowering specimen of Running Buffalo Clover in Ohio.

Note that the European white clover has white blotches on the leaves, grows lower to the ground, and has different technical features of the flowers and stems. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4d1f562fa7d5c7346bf2/5aaf4d5d03ce64db74094b66/1521438209397/Ciafre.jpeg Stones River Bend Park - Claire Ciafre (SGI Graduate Student) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4d1f562fa7d5c7346bf2/5aaf4d23575d1f89f2fb003d/1521438197631/Chris.png Stones River Bend Park - Chris Mausert-Mooney (SGI Graduate Student) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4d1f562fa7d5c7346bf2/5aaf4d211ae6cf0c78ee0f53/1521438182833/Zach.png Stones River Bend Park - Zach Irick (SGI Graduate Student) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aaf4d1f562fa7d5c7346bf2/5aaf4d1f758d463a2261202d/1521438147958/Cooper.png Stones River Bend Park - Cooper Breeden (SGI Graduate Student) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5aace3160e2e725448b81fb1/1521279796328/Screen+Shot+2018-03-17+at+2.03.46+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5aacd83e88251b56303511ec/1521277044657/Trifolium_repens_blangy-tronville_80_07062007_3.jpg Stones River Bend Park White Clover (Trifolium repens) - Non-native European species https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aacda58aa4a99e02163449f/5aacda84758d463a22150c19/1521277810841/Screen+Shot+2018-03-17+at+2.07.11+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aacda58aa4a99e02163449f/5aacda6d0e2e725448b7a3ce/1521277810879/Screen+Shot+2018-03-17+at+2.07.27+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5aacda58aa4a99e02163449f/5aacda64758d463a22150a27/1521277810802/Screen+Shot+2018-03-17+at+2.27.55+AM.png Stones River Bend Park https://www.segrasslands.org/coal-creek-farm daily 0.75 2018-04-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad51410f950b7fe515c64e2/1523913760763/ Coal Creek Farm https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5aca721d1ae6cf686ad7a502/1523216931431/red-cockaded+woodpecker.jpg Coal Creek Farm Red-Cockaded Woodpecker is a species that was last seen in Tennessee in 1990. The second-to-last population was at Catoosa WMA in Cumberland Co., TN. As the savannas succeeded to closed-canopy forests, this species lost the open conditions it requires and finally disappeared completely in the late 1980s. The last birds in Kentucky were moved to longleaf pine savannas of Georgia to avoid their loss. Numerous initiatives are now focused on attempting to reintroduce this beautiful woodpecker back to its native range, but thus far no efforts have been made to bring it back to Tennessee. Initiatives like that at Coal Creek Farm can help rescue this and other imperiled grassland species. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad373330e2e7224de355800/1523807030003/ Coal Creek Farm - Document Reptiles & Amphibian DIversity during Bioblitz https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad3aa712b6a28134fc27488/1523821231022/Screen+Shot+2018-04-15+at+2.37.32+PM.png Coal Creek Farm - Article in The Tennessee Conservationist magazine or other popular formats https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ad3ca772b6a28134fc7c02a/5ad3cb67758d46ce632b2d05/1523829913562/riverscour.png Coal Creek Farm - Devin Rodgers M.S.

KY to nw. AL along the surface of the Plateau. It covered hundreds of thousands of acres and was dominated by shortleaf pine-post oak-little bluestem with wet swales, meadows, and rocky sandstone glades embedded throughout. Today, 95-99% of this ecosystem has disappeared, primarily due to fire suppression, end of open range for cattle grazing, and conversion of wet grasslands to farm ponds. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac81251f950b74252c97e1c/5ac812681ae6cf686a963240/1523417084573/Bridgestone%2BFirestone%2Bfire_Harper.jpg Coal Creek Farm - Thinning and burning is resulting in rebound... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac81251f950b74252c97e1c/5ac8125b03ce649b2afe4c9a/1523417112305/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-07-24%2Bat%2B9.03.21%2BPM.png Coal Creek Farm - and native grasses and wildflowers... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac81251f950b74252c97e1c/5ac812516d2a73d3a0ac3266/1523417099954/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-07-24%2Bat%2B9.02.59%2BPM.png Coal Creek Farm - of Shortleaf Pine and savanna shrubs... https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd77e303ce64a75c537898/1523415107199/BSF.png Coal Creek Farm - Bogs https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd76b7562fa7a9dc75dd33/1523415076863/Screen+Shot+2018-04-08+at+2.21.07+PM.png Coal Creek Farm - Sandstone Glades https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd76a503ce64a75c5343bc/1523415060985/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-07-24%2Bat%2B9.02.59%2BPM.png Coal Creek Farm - Pine-Oak Savannas https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd769e03ce64a75c5342fc/1523415003487/Glade%2BBranch%2Bcopy.jpg Coal Creek Farm - Wet Meadows https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd76906d2a73d1844efd81/1523420206228/Brockdell%2BRd.jpg Coal Creek Farm - Prairies https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5acd76848a922dd9b709279d/5acd76856d2a73d1844efbd9/1523415115806/Screen+Shot+2018-04-10+at+9.23.50+PM.png Coal Creek Farm - Riverscour Barrens https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5acaa2596d2a73d3a0f60ff6/1523229316557/Screen+Shot+2018-04-08+at+1.59.35+AM.png Coal Creek Farm - Conduct Species Inventory in All Habitats to Build Comprehensive Plant List https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac8184003ce649b2aff0962/5ac81a398a922dc7737c3d5b/1523419280716/462734222_71db964e92_z.jpg Coal Creek Farm - Green Pitcher Plant (10) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac8184003ce649b2aff0962/5ac818482b6a289d08789b03/1523419302564/Schwalbea+americana2.jpg Coal Creek Farm - American Chaffseed (10) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac8184003ce649b2aff0962/5ac8184303ce649b2aff098b/1523419350420/Platanthera_ciliaris.jpg Coal Creek Farm - Yellow-Fringed Orchid (7-8) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/5ac8184003ce649b2aff0962/5ac81840aa4a998f3f0e95f5/1523419326139/Buchnera_ame%232576a%23r_400.jpg Coal Creek Farm - American Bluehearts (8-9) https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad3bc3c88251b90ed543268/1523825742362/Lindemann+Budget.JPG Coal Creek Farm https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad38b05352f53c87a313356/1523818854120/Screen+Shot+2018-04-15+at+12.25.02+PM.png Coal Creek Farm - Comprehensive iNaturalist Project https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f8362b15d5dbde5a0c3003/t/5ad502d42b6a28dc241e71b7/1523909340750/George+Lindemann.jpg Coal Creek Farm A lone longhunter atop Bear Den Mountain looking across the prairie that once covered Grassy Cove, Cumberland County, Tennessee ca. 1776.
