Dr. Carter Johnson, Chairman of EcoSun Prairie Farm discusses native tallgrass prairie restoration. The non-profit set out to demonstrate the viability of a "working grass farm," as a means of restoring tall grass prairie and pothole wetlands. He and his cohorts formed the nonprofit organization and leased a section of land in South Dakota, where they began planting blue stem, prairie cord grass and other perennial species native to the area on retired cropland.

For more than 40 years, ecologist, Dr. Carter Johnson has studied wetlands along rivers and in the prairie pothole region that extends from Canada through the Dakotas to Iowa. In 2014, in recognition of his contributions to wetlands conservation, the Environmental Law Institute has awarded Johnson the National Wetlands Award for Science Research.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
