prairie in NE Texas

As a brand new subscriber to this discussion group, I browsed through
until encountering Austin Moseley's note from February. Two points:
1) The Heard Natural History Museum at McKinney TX has a nice prairie
restoration and a knowledgeable naturarlist, Ken Steigman with whom Mr.
Moseley might enjoy sharing information.
2) Just a hint for any novice prairie planters: watch out for switch
grass, it can be very aggressive and you might end up with a
monoculture.  
Indeed, there is evidence that grass-only plantings (common in CRP) are
inferior wildlife, bird, etc. habitat. Even cool season grass plantings
are apparently better because their component of "weedy" forbs attracts
birds, butterflies and so on.
May your prairie grow.
