Prairie strips are a conservation practice that preserve soil and water while also providing wildlife habitat. By incorporating these strips of native grasses and plants into strategic locations in fields, it offers a place for wildlife to live where they otherwise would not. Under the vegetation, deep and multilayer root systems help preserve ground water and soil stability which benefits the surrounding land.
