The Center for Prairie Studies has released a multimedia video production, Prairie Through the Seasons. The 27-minute video features photographs by several local photographers, narration by Sandy and Betty Moffett, and music by Jonathan Chenette. The changes of seasons on the prairie happen gradually, yet are distinct. From May to October prairie blooms color the landscape with all of the colors of the rainbow. But even after the first heavy frost brings an end to the flowering, the prairie presents a lovely canvas in the russet hues of fall or decorated with winter snow. This video captures the beauty in each of the seasons on the prairie.
Check back soon to view "Prairie through the Seasons."
The Center has a small collection of videos on various topics such as prairie ecology, Midwestern agriculture, local food Issues, and regional history.
