Announcing a New Look for American Prairie in Montana

When our founders started this organization in 2001, the idea of assembling a 3-million acre nature reserve seemed as crazy as it was inspiring. While they understood the work ahead was complex, they knew it was achievable and also essential for the prairie, for our planet, and for future generations.

Twenty years later, our Montana-based nonprofit has evolved from a small startup with two employees to a vibrant organization with staff working across the state. We have completed 32 land transactions and grown the habitat base to more than 420,000 acres. And soon we will open the National Discovery Center in Lewistown, Montana as a gathering place for the prairie’s communities and visitors from around the country and world.

As we look forward to our next 20 years, we are excited to announce a new image for our organization that celebrates our past and our future.
