Translations:AY Honors/Temperate Grasslands/Answer Key/93/en

You can look at large grasslands, but it may be more applicable to focus on a particular grassland in your local area. There are several national, state, and even city parks that include native or restored grasslands, and some local parks or universities may have “pocket prairies” that can serve as a way to study a grassland in your own locale. Many of these have informative displays on site, or have small booklets available in hard copy or online providing additional information. It may also be useful to interview a ranger or park volunteer. There are several services that collect historical weather and climate data you can use to study your grassland. Examples below look at two temperate grasslands, one a national grassland (Caddo-LBJ National Grasslands), the other a restored grassland in a local park (Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park).
