Mission Statement
Our mission is to create and manage a prairie-based wildlife reserve that, when combined with public lands already devoted to wildlife, will protect a unique natural habitat, provide lasting economic benefits and improve public access to and enjoyment of the prairie landscape.
About This Cause
We believe that Montanans, the American public and people everywhere value access to open spaces where plants and animals thrive in their natural environment. We feel the existence of and access to inspirational landscapes like the open prairie will be increasingly desired as world population rises further and land continues to be locked up for the benefit of only a select few. Also, we believe the rich natural heritage of North America’s native prairie is of immeasurable value and should be conserved for the enjoyment and benefit of future generations. We believe a prairie reserve and agricultural enterprise can thrive together. 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.
