"Prairie Housing"



I blacked out the number to "protect" the guilty. You can live in suburban sprawl land in what was once a vast prairie habitat. While you are at it, drive out native species by growing trees and plants that require vast amounts of water and are native to the northeast. The arrow is just so you don't get confused by the small plot of acutal prairie land for sale across the street.

The prairie once spread across 1.5 million square kilometers of the Great Plains (that's seven times the size of Minnesota!)—but less than 2% of native prairie remains today.- University of Minnesota website
