Dedication for prairie in southwest Missouri

Carol Davit, executive director of the Missouri Prairie Foundation, told The Joplin Globe (http://j.mp/2a2JJFo ) the foundation wanted the prairie to complement the nearby George Washington Carver National Monument.

The foundation bought the land with part of a $750,000 grant that was part of a settlement with Asarco, a mining company, for environmental damage in the area.
