Some of the native species are so exotic I'd have sworn they were alien only to find out that they are native to our continent. I have toured Fermilab personally on several occasions and for the botanicly oreiented it really is a must see :) Follow the "clickable tour" link from their main page to link deeper into the prairie restoration information.
