"At 440 acres, Sibley Prairie in Brownstown Township is conserving some of the last acreage of lakeplain prairie in the world.
Lakeplain prairie, or a Lakeplain Wet Prairie, is a seasonally wet biodiverse landscape in the lakeplains of the southern Great Lakes.
Less than 0.5% of Michigan’s original 160,000 acres of lakeplain prairie remain, according to the Michigan Natural Features Inventory."
