Oak Drive Wet Prairie
Oak Drive Wet Prairie supports degraded wet prairie with elements of calcareous (“prairie”) fen, which grades into southern sedge meadow in the western part. Notable species include marsh betony (Pedicularis lanceolata), Riddell’s goldenrod (Solidago riddellii), greater fringed gentian (Gentianopsis crinita). These and other wet prairie species are locally very uncommon, so this site may serve as an important local genetic resource.
