Get to Know Native Prairie Plants

Follow the clues to identify native prairie plants that thrive there — and in other places, too.

One thing we can do to help pollinators is to increase habitat for them to find food and nesting areas. Native prairie ecosystems offer great habitat for insect pollinators including many flowering plants with a good source of nectar (nectar is food for pollinators).

In this activity, you will learn about some different native prairie plants, how to identify them, and consider some ways to add native flowering plants to your own landscape at school, at home, and throughout your community.

This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Native Bees Series. See the rest of the activities here.
