Each plant has a story to tell, Kindscher said. He wrote about those stories, relating how prairie plants were ashed as food by Indians and settlers.
Rare as prairie remnants are, the University of Kansas has an acre on campus, untouched by plow or grazing. Kindscher said.
Known as the prairie acre and located southwest of the chancellor's residence north of 16th Street, it has retained only about 20 percent of its original species of plants, he said.

Kindscher, 29, earned a bachelor's degree in environmental studies from KU in 1979. He began master's studies in systematics and ecology in the fall. He now is researching medicinal uses of prairie plants.
Frank Denoyelles, chairman of environmental studies and professor of systematics and ecology, said he would like to see the prairie acres developed into a full-fledged prairie preserve.
