Less than 150 years ago, the great North
American prairie stretched from Mexico to
Canada. During the past five or six generations,
99% of the prairie has been consumed by
grazing, farming and urbanization. These
three major influences on the prairie are
intertwined. All classes of livestock find
native prairie grasses to be highly palatable.
Farmers enjoyed the benefit of fertile prairie
soils. Ultimately, our cities and road systems
have centered on the best prairie land.
Today, less than 0.004% of Texas’ tallgrass
prairie remains, making the state the nation’s
leader in prairie loss from land fragmentation.
The native people before us, who lived on the
land we call home, had 445 generations of
experience living here. It is the grass, forming
the foundation on which life depends, that gives
us pure clean waters, clear blue skies and fertile
organic soils. You can plant these native seeds
and discover for yourself the benefits of prairie!
