Paxton Railroad Prairie

County: Ford
Ownership: Canadian National Railroad
Protection: 1991
Size: 1.0 acres

This section of active railroad right-of-way contains a patch of high quality prairie as well as several wetlands. In 1991, Grand Prairie Friends purchased a garden/beautification lease for a 600 foot length of the right-of-way which gives GPF the right to management, and provides some protection from disturbance.
