Tallgrass Prairie Center

The Tallgrass Prairie Center is a nationally recognized center for ecological restoration of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Our mission is empowering people to value and restore resilient, diverse tallgrass prairie. We conduct research and provide technical support for roadside vegetation managers, farmers, conservation professionals, and native seed partners. We are also responsible for the restoration and management of Irvine Prairie, a 300+-acre prairie in progress, and 64 acres of university grounds near the TPC encompassing prairie, woodland, and native seed production plots.
