The route through this project winds in and out of urban surfaces to reveal memories embedded in the land. It documents forgotten and dormant prairie events so that they might be woven back into the fabric of the city. The purpose of this project is to transfer explored and speculative experience into a physical route through the urban prairie landscape. It is an effort to expose the layers clinging to physical memories rooted in the prairie. explore . expose . absorb 004 ‘shadow tracing’, winnipeg sidewalk, 2003 shadows I 037 II 104 III 166 005 006 CONTENTS 004 Abstract 009 Using this Book I 011 EXPLORATION 013 Methods 017 A Brief History of Tall Grass Prairie in Manitoba 027 Heritage 029 Memory 032 Time 035 Experiments 038 Case Studies II 067 MAPPING 069 Mapping History 075 Timeline of Human Movement and Land Usage in Southern Manitoba 083 Time and Mapping 084 Layers of the Site 089 The Prairie Place 091 Site Analysis - Mapping Change III 131 DESIGN 131 Design Intention 134 Interventions x007 008 initial site inventory USING THIS BOOK This book has been structured to correspond with the design process used throughout ‘FIELD WORKS’.

  • A Naturalist's Guide to the Great Plains
    Paul A. Johnsgard A Naturalist’s Guide to the Great Plains Sites, Species, and Spectacles This book documents nearly 500 US and Canadian locations where wildlife refuges, na- ture preserves, and similar properties protect natural sites that lie within the North Amer- ican Great Plains, from Canada’s Prairie Provinces to the Texas-Mexico border. Information on site location, size, biological diversity, and the presence of especially rare or interest- ing flora and fauna are mentioned, as well as driving directions, mailing addresses, and phone numbers or internet addresses, as available. US federal sites include 11 national grasslands, 13 national parks, 16 national monuments, and more than 70 national wild- life refuges. State properties include nearly 100 state parks and wildlife management ar- eas. Also included are about 60 national and provincial parks, national wildlife areas, and migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada’s Prairie Provinces. Numerous public-access prop- erties owned by counties, towns, and private organizations, such as the Nature Conser- vancy, National Audubon Society, and other conservation and preservation groups, are also described. Introductory essays describe the geological and recent histories of each of the five mul- tistate and multiprovince regions recognized, along with some of the author’s personal memories of them. The 92,000-word text is supplemented with 7 maps and 31 drawings by the author and more than 700 references. Cover photo by Paul Johnsgard. Back cover drawing courtesy of David Routon.
