Conrad Savanna Nature Preserve
Conrad Savanna Nature Preserve is a nature preserve located in Newton County, Indiana, south of Lake Village, just west of U.S. 41 on County Road 700 North. The savanna contains alternating rolling sand dunes and level areas. Typical of a savanna, it is covered by trees, grasses, and sedges. The dominate plants include Junegrass, Pennsylvania sedge, porcupine grass, little bluestem, Indian grass and big bluestem.〔(The Nature Conservancy )〕 The preserve is managed as by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR)
==Habitat==
The Savanna has changed little from the period when eastern settlers first arrived south of the Kankakee River. The soil is a fine sand quartz, which covers the preserve and the areas surrounding it. It primarily occurs in the sand hills, much of the surrounding flatlands contains sand. Savannas in this region are dominated by oak trees. Oaks survive in the sands which shed water rapidly, creating drought like conditions. Throughout northwest Indiana, the oak savannas are primarily black oak and white oaks.〔(Department of National Resources )〕 Typical dry prairie plants include hairy puccoon, goat's rue, blunt-leaved milkweed, leadplant, and New Jersey tea. These are in addition to the grasses listed above.〔
