Before early European settlement thirty million acres of oak savanna stretched from Minnesota and Wisconsin south to the Texas hill country. Now temperate-zone oak savannas are one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. Classified G-1, globally endangered only .02% remain. However, many Midwest oak savannas are merely degraded and can be restored. Unlike native prairies that have been completely lost to agriculture or development, woodlands that have not been plowed or seeded with non-native pasture grasses will sustain portions of their native plant diversity. Depending on previous land use such as grazing, actively managing these systems will restore the oak dominance and a diverse understory of wildflowers, grasses, and sedges in as little as three years. Deeply shaded and highly degraded woodlands can take much longer but they, too, can recover.
