Prairies of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy

Discover the history of the prairies of the Dane County section of the conservancy. Did you know that there is prairie on the hill that has been there for at least several hundred years? Have you ever wondered how or when the prairies at Pheasant Branch were planted?

In addition to those topics, the webpage covers prairie maintenance and the county's seed collection and processing operations.  This website was compiled by a FOPB volunteer, Tom Klein.

Flora of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy

Discover the forbs, grasses, bushes, and trees, both native and non-native, that can be found in the Pheasant Branch Conservancy.  You can look up plant names, pictures, and link to a detailed description from an expert.

This website was compiled by a FOPB volunteer, Tom Klein, who hopes that by restricting the list to plants that are actually in the conservancy, you will have a better chance of being able to look up a plant you discover while exploring the conservancy.
