Rich Henderson
Rich Henderson is the Empire-Sauk Chapter Board Representative. Rich was an ecologist with the Wisconsin DNR. He has 48 years of experience in natural area inventory, assessment, and management of prairie, sedge meadow, oak savanna, and oak woodland ecosystems. Rich served four years as past president of The Prairie Enthusiasts and was an originator of the Military Ridge Prairie Heritage Area, which includes more than 50,000 acres of grasslands in Dane and Iowa counties in southwest Wisconsin.
Rich’s data show you do not need to start by killing everything with herbicide. You can achieve a highly diverse prairie planting with frequent fire and inter-seeding.
Rich will also cover how to improve diversity in your current planting.
