About Niawathe Prairie Conservation Area
From Lockwood, travel eight miles north on MO-97, west one mile on Route E, north 0.5 mile on County Road 61. This is a 320-acre Designated Natural Area.

Niawathe Prairie Conservation Area is located in Dade County, and covers 320 acres. Niawathe Prairie CA is partially owned by The Nature Conservancy (160 acres). The MDC manages the entire area. This prairie is a designated Natural Area. The area is a remnant prairie, composed of prairie grasses, forbs, and dissected by various brushy draws. Management efforts focus on minimizing competition from woody species and encouraging native forbs. This is achieved through various regimes of haying, grazing, and prescribed burning.

This prairie contains one of the most diverse plant communities in Missouri, which makes it attractive to many grassland bird species. From Niawathe Prairie Conservation Area Website
