American Prairie Foundation April Newsletter

Dear Friends of American Prairie Reserve,

Moon Over Winter PrairieThat wonderful time of year is finally upon us, that phenomenon where snow showers turn to rain, the returning grassland birds begin to show themselves again and plans for the spring and summer loom large on the Reserve calendar. We are excited about the activity happening in just the next few months. Here is a sampling:

Last Sunday morning the growing bison herd rumbled through a gate and spilled out onto their new 11,000 acre range — a huge milestone in our efforts to give them more room to roam as naturally as possible. Artist and APF Board member Clyde Aspevig will present a new suite of images, in New York City in early May, helping to raise awareness about the extraordinary beauty and importance of this piece of America.

APF Managing Director Dick Dolan attended the 2009 Grasslands of the Worlds Conference to help us continue to learn from the wide range of successful and important grassland wildlife projects in Africa, Mongolia, South America and elsewhere. Below are new images we think you will enjoy, as well as a reading suggestion and some fun facts on eagles. We hope spring is coming to you wherever you are and that news of this project, which you so generously support, will bring some satisfaction and joy to your month.

Sincerely,

Sean Gerrity
APF President
