In keeping with the Prairie Fork natural resource objectives, ongoing research projects are conducted by universities, MDC staff, and other researchers. These projects encompass a variety of topics, ranging from native plant restoration, to wildlife radio telemetry, to soil microbiology. In expanding scientific knowledge, these projects offer valuable educational opportunities for visitors to the area. They also provide us insight into how to better manage and conserve our natural resources.
Researchers are always encouraged to explore and investigate new areas of learning. The Prairie Fork Trust annually requests and funds several projects that further Prairie Fork’s research and natural community goals and objectives.
