Missouri Western State University has partnered with the Missouri Department of Conservation on a prairie restoration project in St. Joseph.
Jeff Powelson, private land conservationist, said the project will provide a native grassland habitat for research and educational purposes and for the enjoyment of the public.
The conservation department helped plant 26 acres of native warm season grasses and wildflowers on the northeast corner of the campus this winter.
