I am very disappointed that there is no mention of restoring a small
portion of the land to original Palouse prairie vegetation.  The original
Palouse ecosystem is also part of our heritage.  Children and adults can
gain both education and enjoyment from the restoration and maintenance of a
few acres of such land.  And since the prairie grasses presumably evolved
under grazing pressures, such land could also be used for grazing livestock
(in moderation).
