Conservation Groups Unveil Bid to Restore Historic Prairies
March 19, 2009
Four conservation groups are joining forces in an effort to restore some of the original grasslands in the United States and to preserve their native wildlife, reports the Associated Press.
Prairie Grouse Partners, composed of the Mule Deer Foundation, Pheasants Forever, the North American Grouse Partnership, and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, set a goal of improving 60 million acres of habitat in an area stretching from the Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado plains east as far as Ohio and south to the Gulf of Mexico.
