Prairie Places  
Project Database  
Individual landowners, community groups and governments at all levels are working to restore tallgrass prairie and savanna sites in their area. In addition, many new sites have been “created” . Below is a list of projects throughout Ontario - you can get more information from Tallgrass Ontario or from the contacts listed. If you know of a site that is NOT on our list please take the time to complete the Project Data Sheet and send it to Tallgrass Ontario. We would appreciate pictures (.jpeg format please) for our website and publications as well.

If you are thinking about creating a prairie garden or want more information on how to plant tallgrass for habitat enlargement or enhancement, check out the Gardens and Creations section.

An excellent resource for those interested in planting a prairie and meadow is “Planting the Seed: A Guide to Establishing Prairie and Meadow Communities in Southern Ontario”.  Order a FREE copy by emailing info@tallgrassontario.org (one copy per order please) - or download a copy from www.on.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/docs/
