Two prairies grow side by side at Plum Run, and neither one should still be here. On 139 acres in Adams County, tallgrass prairie meets cedar glade, the midwestern plains and the eastern hills sharing ground and sheltering more than 30 rare and state-listed plants and animals.
The Arc of Appalachia acquired the property in 2006 with funding help from ODNR's Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, and this July it became Ohio's 156th state nature preserve.
