I love those pictures of native tall grasses where it shows how deep the roots can get if they're allowed to grow tall. The roots can extend 10 feet.
The long roots help rainwater go deep underground, rather than running off, and in places where unkept trees/shrubs were replaced with tall grasses, the water table rises significantly and springs/ponds can pop up again.
Grass forms an important part of many ecosystems. Just not in the areas we usually cultivate it, and usually not in the style we trim it to.
So instead, own nerds by telling them to touch native tall grasses.
