Grassland restoration is at the heart of Audubon’s mission to protect and sustain vital ecosystems, and Mitchell Lake Audubon Center is proud to play a key role in this effort. In this presentation, Corina Solis, Land and Conservation Coordinator, will explore the grassland restoration projects underway at Mitchell Lake, including implementation of prescribed burns to enhance native plant growth and biodiversity.
Corina will discuss why grassland restoration is critical for supporting bird populations, pollinators, and overall ecosystem health, and how these efforts align with Audubon’s vision for resilient landscapes. The presentation will also highlight smaller-scale conservation projects happening at Mitchell Lake and provide practical tips for individuals looking to make a difference in their own communities.
