The Indian Boundary Prairies serve as a resource to the local community by providing a living laboratory that introduces and invites people to embrace the concept of connecting people and nature in a personal way. Primarily located within the city of Markham, or the “Prairie Capital of the Prairie State,” TNC is working to become an active member of the community by partnering with local education, religious and business representatives.
The resulting wetland and prairie ecosystems not only provide valuable habitat for wildlife such as the monarch butterfly and migratory bird species, but also help minimize negative environmental impacts such as flooding in the surrounding communities. Controlled fires are a critical management tool used to maintaining healthy grassland communities that TNC stewardship staff are incorporating into the landscape. Work is performed through invasive plant species control, woody brush removal and wetland re-creation. Stewardship staff work tirelessly year-round to improve the prairie so both plant and animal life can thrive. Gray foxes have denned on the prairie for several years. The Indian Boundary Prairies are critical habitat for other birds, such as the bobolink and eastern meadowlark. Ninety-seven bird species have been recorded, including the Virginian rail, lesser and great yellow legs, savanna sparrows, sandpipers and the state-threatened Henslow's sparrow. The smooth green snake, eastern milk snake and 11 other species of amphibians and reptiles are found here. More than 750 insect species are known to inhabit the prairies, including the Acadian hairstreak, bunchgrass skipper and dreamy dusky wing butterflies. Indian Boundary Prairies are an important sanctuary for butterflies and other animals that require large expanses of high-quality natural area.
More than 250 species of plants thrive at the prairies, including the endangered eastern prairie white fringed orchid. Unusual plants found here are small sundrops and narrow-leaved sundew. Indian grass, little bluestem and big bluestem are common, with cord grass, bluejoint grass and sedges dominating the wetter swales. Natural communities include black soil prairie, sand prairie and sedge meadow.
