It has been abundantly clear for the last 5 years there is great interest in restoration and participation in restoration of the savannahs (prairies) at the Ladd Preserve in support of wildflowers and wild grasses. The Duncanville Nature Conservancy has submitted proposal for a service grant of $12,000 to the City of Duncanville. The Conservancy will arrange for wildflower and wild grass seed purchase, delivery, professional planting and payment on approximately 16. 85 acres of the south Danieldale savannah upon approval by the city council.
Of course everyone will be invited to help broadcast seed and we will all have the satisfaction of volunteering and seeing our efforts bloom in the spring, summer and fall. This is an expensive project that is planned to be done correctly, with a hoped outcome that benefits the preserve, its citizens and the city for years to come. Plant it, watch it bloom. A win win.
Let your council person know how you feel.
Here is The Ladd Preserve Danieldale Savannah rendition of possible spring wildflowers. Be aware weather, rain, and a variety of factors impact outcome. The seed base continues to support restoration of the savannah.
