The Dakota Prairie Grasslands recently published a book entitled "Plants of the Grand River and Cedar River National Grasslands:2008" that is available free to the public. It was written by Kurt Hansen and is a good resource for plant enthusiasts wanting to know more about the prairie. 476 species from 78 families have been discovered so far. Inquiries can be at the offices in Lemmon, SD, or Bismarck, ND. The publication is also available on the DPG's website.
