An evening to remember! 🥂
Last Saturday we celebrated the prairie with 150 of our supporters. We were proud to have the First Gentleman attend the celebration and share his passion for the environment with us. We are also proud to introduce our new Board President, Aubyn Royall!

Checking out the new digs...this black-footed ferret just got the keys to her new home! 🗝️
We were able to reintroduce a new group of the most endangered mammal of North America. This species needs healthy and extensive colonies of prairie dogs in order to sustain itself, and that's what we've got!

Our final keystone species highlight: bats! 🦇
Their presence keeps food webs balanced and landscapes resilient, yet they’re often
overlooked or misunderstood. In truth, bats aren’t just part of the ecosystem —they help hold it together. 🦇👻🎃

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day - a great moment to remind ourselves that the Great Plains are historically the home of the Sioux, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, Crow, and others. These tribes used to be nomadic, following the bison herds in portable tepees.

Have you ever seen the prairie at night? Or even better: have you ever shined a black light on the prairie at night? It glows!
These images show a praying mantis egg case, glowing bright green, and a lichen (yellowish green in daylight) glows a bright red!
