Prarie Grass Exhibit



There is an acre set aside for prarie grass.  The deer love it - they hide in it because it is tall.  There are other critters who also live in there.  Once a year, the grass is burned.  We watched and it was amazing.  The fire was an inferno.  I had to back way up because it was so hot.  Within a minute, however, the fire was gone, completely, leaving a blackened acre.  That was three weeks ago.  Now it is growing and you can't tell where the fire was.
