The reconstructed tallgrass prairie at the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site was established in 1971. Several time management regimens have been used including haying, burning and rest. Enhancement of the forb (non-grassy herbaceous plants) population was investigated by Landers, by establishment of a demonstration plot on the south prairie margin near the Library, and by informal seeding and transplanting staff personnel. Inventorying of the vegetation of the reconstructed prairie began in 1982 and was continued in 1984, 1985, and 1987. This report is a continuation of that effort and is a summary of the 1988 data.
