Zusammenfassung:Island of Grass tells the story of the Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area, a 240-acre preserve surrounded by housing developments in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Agricultural land use and urban expansion during the past two centuries have fragmented and altered these prairies. All that remains today are small islands.
