Where the Tallgrass Still Grows
Limited-Edition Print Reproduction
Natural Area: Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas
Edition of 50: Signed and numbered
Certificate of Authenticity: Signed

Grasslands are the most endangered ecosystem globally. Once 170 million acres vast, less than 4% of tallgrass prairie remains in North America since colonial settlement. One of the largest areas of tallgrass prairie was inadvertently preserved due to the rocky terrain of the Flint Hills region in Kansas which hindered early colonial farming. This is highlighted in the drawing Where the Tallgrass Prairie Still Grows through the depiction of a controlled burn that exposes an expansive landscape of limestone outcrops. More than the sum of their grasses, prairies improve water quality, restore soil health, and provide critical habitat for prairie chickens and pollinators. The open vistas of the Great Plains may appear to be austere, but grassland biomes are intricate ecosystems that are full of life. Prairies support abundant plant diversity, including less visible vegetation like bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) that are indicators of a healthy ecosystem. While vulnerable to impacts such as strip mining, a growing number of studies show the environmental remediation potential when bryophytes are revegetated. In the drawing, a true moss in the Pottiaceae family is shown in magnified view, nestled beneath bowing grasses to the right of an evening primrose, radiating a magical glow.
