Dear Friends of the American Prairie Reserve,
Unusually wet summer weather has kept the prairie uncharacteristically green well into late July. The sage smells wonderful, grassland birds are finding abundant cover and forage, and visitors and locals are marveling at the high water levels appearing everywhere in ponds, creeks and wetland areas. You can enjoy new images of this gorgeous summer season in the updated photo gallery section on the APF website. For those of you who might be in the local area in early September, we hope you will consider joining us for another APF Open House, at which we currently expect sixty or more visitors from the local area.
While overall Reserve wildlife numbers are increasing, like any complex and ambitious project our efforts follow the predictable theme of three steps forward, one step back. World Wildlife Fund is working valiantly to save large sections of existing prairie dog towns affected by a plague outbreak which, in turn, is threatening recovery efforts of black-footed ferrets.
We are very pleased to note that even with current concerns about the state of the economy, we are incredibly fortunate to enjoy steadily increasing support from enthusiasts around the country. We thank all of you for your steadfastness in providing the financial resources needed to make the American Prairie Reserve experience as rich and rewarding as it can be today, and for future generations. Please come join us on the prairie sometime soon.
Sincerely,
Sean Gerrity
APF President
