Midco Prairie: A New Urban Oasis
Midco, a cable company, and Native Lands Restoration Collaborative have joined forces to create Midco Prairie, a new prairie park in downtown Lawrence. This project transforms an idle lot into a native plant and local art haven, funded entirely by Midco. The park, designed by ecologist Courtney Masterson, features drought-resistant grasses and existing trees, offering shade, gathering spots, and educational gardens. Local artists like Karl Ramberg, Laura Ramberg, and Tim O’Brien contribute stone walls, flagstone paths, and benches. The park aims to reconnect urban dwellers with native lands and is set to open in October, with plants expected to fully develop within a few years.
