| Farmers,
rural property owners and commercial enterprises with significant land
bases outside of urban areas have a big role to play in tallgrass
recovery. There is a potential for both financial and ecological “profit”
as both new - and old! - applications are being piloted throughout North
America. Please refer also to the Managing
the Prairie section for more helpful information.
In fact, a key goal of the Tallgrass Recovery Plan is to encourage restoration and habitat creation initiatives. Specific objectives include encouraging interest in retaining remnants and using tallgrass plant species for commercial and agricultural purposes, such as seed production, livestock forage and grazing, stream buffers and roadside vegetation and management. There are, too, opportunities for “eco-tourism”, as well as farm and nursery tours, consulting, landscape and garden design. Honey production, cut flowers, herbs and other retail applications also provide entrepreneurial opportunities for rural landowners. |
