Blowin grass onto other grass

Hey Yall,

Today we did a whole lot of blowin' grass clippings around, trying to get the sites prepped for the prairie plantings tomorrow. I also used a chainsaw for the first time!!! (Hippie friends: Don't worry, we just cut up a dead tree.) After that, John took us around some more and showed us what does and doesn't work in terms of planting, removing non-natives, and prescribed burns. They're using a native buffalo grass as turf grass, which is pretty awesome because most lawn grasses are horribly invasive, as we saw today when we were looking at some sites that were infested with exotic turf grasses. We also flagged some african weeping lovegrass for herbicide and probably prevented a pretty big invasion.

Oh yeah, and we heard GUNSHOTS!!! Justin and I were blowing grass and there was a live fire exercise at the rifle range, which is right behind our site. I guess I'm gonna have to get used to that sort of thing...
