Rebuilding wildlife populations means providing resilient and rich habitats where animals can move and thrive.
Learn how we're using your donations, volunteer power, and staff and partner expertise to restore habitat on the prairie:
Restoring Plowed Land
For the disturbed areas that are now owned by American Prairie, we are actively working to improve the soil and native vegetation.
Fence Removal and Modification
Fence removal and modification is one of American Prairie's ongoing efforts to increase connectivity and ease the movement of animals like pronghorn.
Prescribed Fire
Historically, fire was a critical component of the prairie ecosystem, but it is no longer a player in the ecology of the northern Great Plains.
Stream and Riparian Restoration
Prairie streams once supported a diverse array of plants and wildlife but much of this habitat been lost and American Prairie is working on restoration.
