The Northern Tallgrass Prairie. To many, it is simply known as "the prairie." A landscape where the eye can see the horizon, and thunderstorms can be watched from infancy to fury. It is America's breadbasket, its corn belt, and its duck factory; a place of hard work, strong families, and civic pride.

The original Tallgrass Prairie is mostly gone now, with only one-tenth of one percent remaining. Our challenge is to save, improve and restore remnant portions of the remaining Tallgrass Prairie.
