The Central Oklahoma SAFE 38b Native Wildlife Mix is designed for mixed-grass prairie regions receiving approximately 24–32 inches of annual precipitation. This diverse native blend balances durable warm-season grass structure with flowering species that support upland wildlife, pollinators, and overall prairie function.

This blend includes regionally adapted warm-season prairie grasses such as:
- Big Bluestem
- Little Bluestem

Together, these species provide vertical nesting structure, winter cover, and strong drought resilience without overwhelming the forb component.
