This 240-acre site preserves one of the last remaining examples of the vast native arid grassland that once covered much of the eastern Columbia Basin in Washington.  A population of Piper's daisy, a state Sensitive plant species that grows only in the Columbia Basin, is protected on the site.  The site exists due to the foresight of John and Emma Rice, landowners who spared the large prairie remnant from the plow and ensured its protection.  (Franklin County)
