We own some land in Ellijay that has a couple acres of prairie alongside a railroad. Would love to learn more about how to expand the prairie
Great to hear, Joe. Since you're in Georgia, I'd suggest emailing Jennifer Ceska from the State Botanical Garden of Georgia: jceska@uga.edu . She can help with ideas, management recommendations, possible funding sources, etc. We're also working on some landowner resources for the website but they're not quite ready yet.
Who is playing guitar on this soundtrack starting about 2:15? Is that Clapton? I've heard it before.
Naw man! That's Ol' Brushy One String on the guit-fiddle there!
Ah, beautiful! What are the chances of getting some smooth coneflower seeds to include in our GMREC gardens?
Have you asked Carrie Radcliffe from the Atlanta Botanical Garden yet? So many of these plants have cool ethnobotanical stories to share.
Excellent, how can we get the word affectively to Electric Corp and County Govt
Great question. Contacting both directly to indicate your support can certainly help. For counties, many people have had success asking for Piedmont Prairies when they're developing new parks. Orange county in NC is looking a developing a wildflower route as a tourist opportunity along an important stretch of roadside and powerline rights-of-way. We're also working on getting an article in the magazine of NC electrical coops. Certainly open to other ideas. We'll probably send a request for ideas out to the folks on the Piedmont Prairie Newsletter soon.
Wonderful!
Well done!
Thanks, Gage. Lots of great people working on bringing back this important ecosystem now. Seems to be growing everyday.
No mention of how invasive species like Bradford Pear hybrids are going to be prevented from taking over the Piedmont prairies. In our area of the Piedmont, any open space that is not mowed is soon taken over by the Bradford Pears.
Invasive species, like Bradford Pear hybrids, are definitely a big problem. That why the only prairies we have left are either on mowed roadsides, powerline rights-of-way, and on conservation lands managed with prescribed fire, mowing, and/or selective cutting and herbicide. We had a bit more on invasive species but ended up having to cut it from the video to save time. It was a tough choice.
Wonderful video!
Glad you liked it. It was lots of fun visiting these sites and hearing everyone's stories
very cool. looking forward to seeing the progress. Hope to maybe contribute in some way
Great to hear. If you haven't signed up already, there's a link at the bottom of the Piedmont Prairie Partnership website to sign-up for the newsletter: www.segrasslands.org/piedmont. We'll be sending out ways for folks to get more involved
