The Northern section of the Macalester prairie is next to the Olin-Rice
Science building. This very colorful section has moderately dry soil
and receives full sun exposure.
This section is dominated by Little Bluestem grasses. Round-headed
Bushclover, a species endangered in Minnesota, can be found in this
section, along with Prairie Coreopsis, Purple Prairie Clover, Western
Sunflowers, and Ohio Spiderworts.
