Foundation Meadows

The Prairie and Arboretum

FoundationMeadows-Prairie 1Valpo Parks created a native tree arboretum and restored upland, mesic, and wetland ecosystems, which existed on these 20 acres prior to agricultural activity.

The Prairie is unique in the current park system as a place where only native vegetation is displayed, providing an area where native ecosystems can be observed and studied. Our hope is that our visitors gain an appreciation for what once was here and become able to identify invasive plants on their own properties.
