Synopsis
Beginning with the geological forces that shaped the land, Mutel traces the evolution of Iowa's prairies and woodlands to the present time. She emphasizes the dramatic impact of Euro-American settlement and shows how farming and logging have destroyed fragile prairie and forest abitats. She discusses the potential of restoration and provides information for those who wish to launch restoration programs. The issues prominent in Iowa mirror those to be encountered in other prairie states.
