In October 1999, Bell LIVE! traveled to the prairie and explored cool animals and plants of this fascinating ecosystem. We discovered why prairies are important to the way we live and what humans do to impact this vanishing ecosystem. See some pictures from the big day!

During the live broadcast on October 13, 1999, students were able to phone, fax, or e-mail questions to the scientists.
