United Prairie Foundation

Grassland prairie habitats are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world.

United Prairie Foundation's programs focus on degraded under-managed grasslands dominated by invasive intruders. With support from members and partners the Foundation works daily to rid these grasslands of non-native species. Most projects require a highly diverse restoration using local ecotype prairie seeds, which create wildlife habitat for ducks, deer, pheasants, and butterflies, and provides the highest quality pollinator habitat for bees and other beneficial insects.
