Expanding the Reserve
Expanding the Reserve

We are spearheading one of the most ambitious conservation projects in recent history – the building of a vast prairie reserve several million acres in size that will provide habitat for countless species. When complete, American Prairie Reserve will be the largest wildlife reserve of any kind in the lower 48 states.

By purchasing a relatively small number of acres from willing sellers in northeastern Montana, we hope to link together the millions of acres of public land already set aside for wildlife and visitor access in the region, thereby creating a seamless landscape reminiscent of that seen by Lewis and Clark.  American Prairie Reserve lands provide valuable habitat for regional wildlife, open corridors for migratory species like the pronghorn antelope and offer the public access to one of the planet’s most unique environments.

In building American Prairie Reserve, we hope to secure enough habitat to provide future generations the chance to see and experience the large variety of wildlife native to the region. The potential exists in this landscape for thousands of animals like pronghorn antelope, bison, burrowing owls and others to roam the landscape, allowing modern visitors an opportunity to witness a wildlife spectacle found in few other places on earth.
