Talk:Prairie restoration

How to
I also had heard the term several times, but didn't really know what it was. I found your topic very interesting. Maybe as a part of "Care of Prairies", you could include a section about How To create your own backyard prairie (since you make that reference) or how prairies are restored or created. I found some interesting info regarding how to make your own prairie restoration project on Prairie Restorations, Inc.'s website, http://www.prairieresto.com/guidelines.htm#Guidelines

Does prairie restoration include wetlands and shorelines? If so maybe include those restoration efforts as well.

Thanks for your comments!
I appreciate your comments and do feel that a small segment on "How To..." would be beneficial to my site. Thanks also for the links, I plan on using them. I also want to get a picture of a prairie, but I'm afraid I'll have to use someone else's and credit them since my only digital camera is video and most still pics taken with it are sub-standard.--Jwilson4 18:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment
Until reading this article, I had no real idea what Prairie Restoration actually was. But I think that it is very interesting, and we have several REAL prairies right next door. I found it interesting in doing some research that it is not that difficult to make your own Prairie, I found that the best time to start is Mid April to May. Usually the first two weeks of May. The soil has to be warm enough for the seeds to settle and grow.http://www-ed.fnal.gov/help/prairie/Prairie_Res/start_plan.html

Suggestions

I thought this article was done really well. Champaign-Urbana area in Illinois, where we are taking this class from, has some great area's where there are some efforts being done for Prairie Restoration, as well as some groups in the area that are working for that end. One suggestion is that if you have time, taking a picture of one of those areas and adding it to your topic might be a good addition to this site. Also, I'm including a link to Heartland Pathways website, that has some great links and information about the prairie's and the restoration movement in Central Illinois area that I found very interestion.

Thanks Again
I've read all your suggestions and incorporated some of the changes you proposed. Hope you like the finished project.--Jwilson4 19:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

suggestion
I provided this suggestion via email due to the fact that it wouldn't post originally. I thought I would share it.

My email:

Your article contains significant information.

I am suggesting that you consider adding a section regarding the actual purchase/transport of prairie restoration plants, who grows them, etc.

There should be some starting info here

Sorry for posting this now, I was supposed to have posted it sooner.

article named wrong?
I think the word "restoration" should not be capitalized in the title of this article. If there are no objections, I will move it. -Freekee 04:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

PJHC 394: Editing
Hello Everyone! I plan on contributing to this article by adding Prairie grass and its role is carbon sequestration under the Purpose section. Under Purpose I would also like to expand on how its growth prevents erosion. Most importantly this article lacks sources (it only has 2) and I would like to improve its reliability and quality of information. I would appreciate any suggestions, feedback, and help.

Peer Review Feedback
Hi @EEmenike, great job working on this article!

I think you have done a great job working on this article. The neutrality of your writing is really admirable, and I think that your work is easily understood by readers. I can tell that you worked hard on making sure that this information was accessible to the larger Wikipedia community because you used multiple peer-reviewed articles. I think that your section on the planting and aftercare of prairies was very well-written and easily understood.

The last section of the article could be expanded. This "prairie contributors" section only talks about prairie restoration projects in the United States, when I suspect there are other projects in Europe and Africa. There are also no references anywhere in this section. I think that making some additions to this section could make your article more inclusive and applicable to the world outside of Wikipedia.

That being said, I think the most important thing you could do to this article is add perspectives from other continents and countries. Throughout the article, you only mention Europe and North America's roles in prairie restorations. I am sure that prairie restoration projects happen in other countries and I think that writing about this could strengthen your article.

Great job on your article. I am impressed by how much work you have done and look forward to seeing your article grow!
