Savanna & Thicket Wildflowers

What is a Savanna?

Savannas are thinly wooded areas that admit some sunlight between the trees allowing a greater variety of shrubs, vines, and ground vegetation than a dense woodland.

What is a Thicket?

Thickets are areas dominated by shrubs and vines, rather than trees or other low ground vegetation. Thickets may occur at the edge of a wetland, woodland, or prairie.
