Mini Golf, Mini Prairie

When early settlers arrived in Illinois, much of the region was covered with prairie plants. The prairie ecosystem adapted to the area's environmental conditions, including extreme heat and drought in the summers and quick freezing and cold winters. Prairie plants also had to withstand large grazing animals like bison and frequent wildfires caused by lightning and people. They survived through deep root systems that collected water during droughts and by having growing heads below the surface, which protected them from fire and grazing animals.
