The Tallgrass Prairie Center assists county roadside managers, native seed companies, and farmers wishing to plant prairie for conservation purposes. Our work frequently takes our small staff away from the Center for data collection, meetings, and field days, and there is no receptionist. However, drop-in visitors are welcome, and if we are in the office, we enjoy learning about your prairie projects. We can direct you to trusted native seed companies and knowledgeable service providers. Please do pick up a free copy of the technical guide series and other printed resources in the main office. If you are coming from a long distance and plan to visit, we recommend that you contact us in advance so we can better serve you.
