Zumwalt Prairie

The Zumwalt Prairie is one of the last remaining large areas of Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie. This area, originally home to the Joseph Band of the Nez Perce people and later settled by hundreds of homesteaders, is now used predominantly as summer pasture for cattle. Because most of it has never been extensively farmed or intensively grazed, the Zumwalt is a refuge for many unique plants, animals, and other organisms and consequently is of high conservation importance.
