Description

The Northern Tallgrass Prairie is an endangered ecosystem, and in turn, grassland dependent birds and some forbs are in serious peril. The Grassland Management Plan GMP was developed in response to the Habitat and Wildlife Management Goal and the degrading grassland habitat of Union Slough NWR. The GMP has the following objectives; preserve remnant tallgrass prairie and associated threatened or endangered species, restore and preserve a grassland buffer around refuge wetlands, restore and preserve a complex of wetlands, wet meadows, and uplands for breeding waterfowl and other areasensitive grassland birds, and restore and protect a buffer around lower Buffalo Creek.
