Seeding begins on MCC-Longview Prairie Restoration project

Prairie Restoration project


MCC-Longview facilities staff braved the cool rain to begin planting the massive field of native grasses on campus today.

In partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation, MCC-Longview spent much of the fall attempting to kill off the green field on the southeast corner of campus to make way for the native grasses being planted today.

By spring the grasses will begin to sprout and flower. The native Missouri grasses being seeded today include:

Little Bluestem



Big Bluestem

Indian grass
Switch grass


Plains Coreopsis
Cone Flower
