SOS III was initiated in January, 2003 to carry out the next phase based on the recommendations. A prototype GIS was constructed and approved by March 2003, and a landowner visit program initiated based on previous methodologies. Several open houses were conducted, and a landowner’s manual commissioned. A report on the “state of the prairies” and management templates, as well as species specific fact sheets are currently in development and scheduled for completion in Spring 2004. To date, all landowners have been contacted by mail, receive quarterly newsletters and have received two targeted mailings of specialized material. Over 100 visits have been made to sites, and an ACCESS database created, which includes information on remnant sites as well as adjacent property owner sites.
