About
Dec 4, 2020 Depending on your perspective, this native prairie remnant could be considered small or large. A map of Minnesota prairie at the time of the Public Land Survey (1847-1908) shows Dodge County with over 203,000 acres of prairie. Measured against this history, the 26.1-acre remnant preserved at Hythecker Prairie is small indeed. Yet it ranks among the largest of the surviving bits of prairie scattered across the county today. mndnr.gov/snas/sna01038 |
