Southeastern Prairie Symposium
In 2012, the MDWFP in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Wildlife Mississippi, and Mississippi State
University hosted the Southeastern Prairie Symposium in Starkville,
Mississippi. The symposium allowed
southern prairie restoration researchers and practitioners to meet
and share ideas. The symposium was attended by more than 120
natural resources professionals representing 14 states.
Attendees were brought to common ground on the topics of
prairie remnants, conservation,
and working grasslands while also listening to presentations about
restoration and management of southeastern prairie grasslands
including the Black Belt Region of Mississippi and Alabama, Jackson
Prairie of central Mississippi, Cajun Prairie of southern
Louisiana, Longleaf pine savannahs of the Gulf Coastal Plain, and
the Barrens of Tennessee and Kentucky.
