Southern Plains Grassland Program
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) is soliciting proposals to conserve and restore grasslands and wildlife species in the Southern Great Plains. The Southern Plains Grassland Program seeks to work closely with nonprofit and government partners and the ranching community to bring important financial and technical resources to address the health and resilience of the grasslands of the Southern Great Plains. These actions will increase the vitality of this often-overlooked ecosystem, providing benefits to wildlife and to rural, ranching-based communities. In addition, these actions increase the ability of grasslands to store carbon, contributing additional benefits to much larger efforts to address environmental changes. Major funding partners include Sysco, Burger King, Cargill, Walmart Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
