Background for Seed Origin 2.1 Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge contains many different types of landscapes, offering a diversity of habitats to various species. One such landscape that has been lost due to human development into structures and agriculture are the prairies that use to inhabit the river valley. Sand prairies were found not only among the bluff tops, commonly referred to as goat prairies, but also in areas where sand was deposited and terraced up within the river valley floor. Brice Prairie, located in the Town of Onalaska, Wisconsin, is such a place where the substrate is sandy and at one time housed many sand prairie species. Currently there are two locations on Brice Prairie in need of restoration into sand prairie. There is a total of 55 acres needing native seed for planting, broken into 2 sites located in LaCrosse County, Wisconsin. The first site is 53 acres, located on the new office/visitor center tract (Mathy tract) of land interior of Brice Prairie located in the town of Onalaska, Wisconsin. The other is a 2 acre parcel (Wright tract) recently purchased along the Wisconsin State's Great River Bike Trail, toward the north end of Brice Prairie (vii) All seeds are to be delivered by 15 October 2010; coordination of delivery will be arranged with Point of Contact. Any alterations for delivery date need to be approved by Point of Contact.
