Melinda Knutson will describe her love affair with prairies and share the secrets that keep her engaged. The Driftless Area was once covered by savannas and prairies, but little remains of this diverse landscape due to fire suppression and land conversion to agriculture, and urban and suburban development.

Melinda Knutson belongs to small group of restoration practitioners (The Prairie Enthusiasts) that are working to sustain prairie landscapes in the Driftless. She is retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and works with landowners who want to rewild their land via her Trillium Consulting business.
