description Curtis Prairie Overview
Located in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, Curtis Prairie is recognized as the world's oldest ecologically restored tallgrass prairie. Restoration began in 1935 under the guidance of conservationist Aldo Leopold and botanist Theodore Sperry, who transplanted native prairie species from remnant sites. The 73-acre prairie serves as a living laboratory for ecological research and demonstrates how degraded farmland can be restored to native habitat. Named after botanist John T.
Curtis, it provides habitat for numerous native prairie plants and wildlife species.
