## Resource

Discover how downtown Lawrence is reviving nature right in the heart of the city with Midco Prairie — a new urban oasis blending prairie, wetland, and woodland habitats. Community members joined hands for a planting day, with biweekly workdays planned through fall to nurture native species that once thrived in Douglas County. Designed for easy access, the park will feature stormwater-filtering plants, mowed paths, a boardwalk from reclaimed stumps, and even bike repair stations. With 4,000 native species — including dye and fiber plants — and a free field guide for visitors, this project invites locals to reconnect with the land, learn, and explore. Opening late October, it’s already becoming a green hub for walkers, bikers, and bus riders alike. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
