Welcome to American Prairie
American Prairie is conserving the disappearing shortgrass prairie ecosystem by piecing together 3.2 million acres of Montana's Northern Plains. We invite the public to explore our restoration work, plan a visit, and connect with nature on a truly grand scale.





National Discovery Center
After years of planning, collaboration, and construction, the American Prairie National Discovery Center is officially open to the public.


People on the Prairie
From Indigenous peoples to modern day working ranchers, people have always been part of the story and stewardship of the prairie.
