Shasta’s Prairie at 91ÁÔÆæ Campus
Shasta’s Prairie is a small pocket prairie on the 91ÁÔÆæ campus near Cullen Blvd. It is located between the 91ÁÔÆæ Science Center and the Science and Research Building 2. In addition to serving to raise awareness about coastal prairies and the 91ÁÔÆæ Coastal Center, it is easily accessible to class groups for use as a living laboratory during normal class time.
