Thank you for your encouragement. It is very humbling to watch nature heal itself. There is so much we don’t know. We can only hope to stimulate return of the natural processes and then see what happens.

This is fascinating. Just across the border in Missouri, one can often find Cinna arundinacea in a natural community type called an Upland Flatwoods–these are open, fire mediated woodlands with a perched water table, often on level, flat plains. Cinna is one of the characteristic plants. And Carex haydenii is a streambank associate in Missouri, seen most often on streambanks along Ozark rivers with bur oak bottomland woodlands. Your property sounds wonderful, and it’s so very encouraging to learn of such a site in Iowa. Please continue your noble endeavors to restore biodiversity in a state in which so much natural history has been lost to the plow.
