its in Utah

Antelope Island is the largest island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. A variety of plants call the Island home, and these can be divided into four main habitat areas.

The grasslands hold many exotic and introduced species, including mullen and cheatgrass. There is also greasewood, inkweed, and tumbleweed. Prairie sunflowers are found all over the Island.

The shorelines hold a variety of short plants, including saltgrass and pickleweed.

Much of the Island is covered in woody shrubs such as rubber rabbitbrush and mountain sage. The soils are shallow and rocky, and getting plants to take hold is difficult. Much of the island was overgrazed in the early days, so it has been taken over by invasive species.

There are a few trees, mainly juniper, in the areas around the fresh water springs. A beautiful cottonwood grove stands by the ranch area, where the largest spring on the Island is.

Plants anywhere near the water are adapted to high salt conditions.
