BOON AREA 1's Impact Since 2020
Reclaiming the Soil: Boon Area 1
In 2016, we acquired a blighted vacant lot from the Kansas City Land Bank. By replacing neglected turfgrass with an intentional native prairie ecosystem of Buffalo Grass, Little Bluestem, Blazing Star, and other native grasses and plants, we transformed an environmental liability into a functional green space and living demonstration site for engagement. Reducing CO2 emissions and addressing storm water runoff.
