For ten years, I volunteered at a Nature Center taking care of prairie and wetlands animals such as snakes, frogs, turtles, hawks, and owls. I was able to gain a thorough appreciation of all of these animals and their habitats. I hope to show a side of the United States that is rarely shown; the unique ecosystems such as prairies and wetlands and to draw attention to animals that are not commonly seen as important parts of the ecosystems they reside in. I want to present the prairie and wetlands, and the animals that live there as valuable and compelling.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
