Ice storm prunes trees and understory vegetation on World Peace Wetland Prairie in January 2009

Please click on images to ENLARGE view of World Peace Wetland Prairie on January 29, 2009, following the Great Pruning of 2009 provided by a multi-state freezing-rain storm.


The split hackberry tree above is shown after i† was broken down by the January 2009 icestorm. Below the same tree stands strong and healthy at right in a photo from the west side of World Peace Wetland Prairie in winter 2000 after a owner/speculator had the land brush-hogged while trying to sell it to a developer.
