The story behind the photograph

Massive bur oaks in early autumn gold and green stand above a brilliant carpet of red sumac and fall wildflowers at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City, Iowa — the savanna edge glowing with the full warm palette of an Iowa October, the oaks still holding their leaves while the understory has already turned crimson. One of the most beautiful seasonal moments in the restored oak savanna at one of the country’s premier tallgrass prairie refuges.

A meaningful gift for an oak savanna enthusiast, fall color lover, Iowa nature admirer, or anyone who has ever stood at the edge of a restored savanna in October and watched the whole understory ignite in red.

Back of card: Blank, with the Midwest Wilderness Connections logo and the following description along the bottom edge: “Bur oak savanna in fall color. Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, Prairie City, Iowa. — Midwest Wilderness Connections www.MidwestWildernessConnections.com”
