Conservation in the Great Plains
Strategic initiatives to further the protection of grassland birds across the Great Plains.
How and Where We Work
Ä¢¹½Av Great Plains works to conserve the birds and landscapes that define our region. Through a strategic focus on habitat conservation, policy action, climate action, and community building, we protect grasslands, rivers, and habitats that birds and people depend on.
Together with our partners and supporters, Ä¢¹½Av Great Plains is building a future where healthy ecosystems, strong communities, and abundant birdlife can endure for generations to come.
