John Latimer had the chance for an extended conversation with the ebulliant Megan Benage. She's a regional biologist who specializes in prairies and grasslands. You can check out the Prairie Pod Podcast here. And check out the Recreation Compass from the DNR's website that Megan mentions. S he wrote this in the MN Conservation Volunteer: It's tough for me to pinpoint the exact moment I found my soulmate, the tallgrass prairie. My mentor at Purdue University, where I studied wildlife science, would say it was when he caught me smelling grass and flower seed as I was sorting batches for a prairie reconstruction project. He said only ecologists stop to smell seed like that.
