A Fresh Start
Broadcast 04/11/03 The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has turned to the state's prison population to help repopulate Iowa prairies with a diversity of species. Doing the labor-intensive work of seed collection, germination and transplantation, inmates from the Iowa Medical and Classification Center at Oakdale, the Fort Madison Prison Farm at Montrose, and the North Central Correctional Facility at Rockwell City are helping restore 3,000 acres of state land with species that would be too cost prohibitive otherwise.
