Working Lands Staff and Resources
Audubon Great Plains Working Lands programs consist of privately-managed lands enrolled in the Audubon Conservation Ranching Initiative, Prairie Management Toolbox Programs, and Conservation Forage Program. Land owners participate in voluntary enhancement and preservation of critical grassland habitats. Audubon also helps land owners apply “bird-friendly” grazing practices and develop market-based solutions to build economic incentives that benefit landowners, consumers, and the environment.
