Managing the Prairie - Voluntary Stewardship

Managing the Prairie

Be a Voluntary Steward

As voluntary stewards, landowners make a verbal agreement to maintain and protect their native prairie and to notify Tallgrass Ontario about any landuse changes or plans to transfer ownership of the property. In return, Tallgrass Ontario and partner organizations can help landowners with questions regarding grazing, plant species, donation, management, etc. In addition, free signs (8"x10") are available that highlight the fact that a rare habitat is being conserved by the landowner.
