Prairie Conservation
We focus our prairie conservation efforts on the Central Great Plains region, including the short-grass prairies of eastern Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas, the Sandhills of Nebraska, and northward through the Thunder River Basin and into the western Dakotas.
The Central Great Plains is a magnificent land of grass and wind, and was once populated by vast herds of pronghorn, bison, and elk. Grizzly bears and wolves once roamed among the ungulate herds and expansive, seemingly endless black-tailed prairie dog towns. Although much of the Great Plains has been converted into cropland and rangeland, the region offers enormous opportunity for recovery.
