American Prairie

American Serengeti will premiere on the National Geographic Channel, which reaches 69 million U.S. households, on Earth Day, April 22nd, at 10 pm EST. Narrated by actor Tom Selleck, the film features the work of American Prairie Foundation and World Wildlife Fund.

If the American Prairie Classic was a pro race I’d call it the Criterium International. A spring race with a time a trial and road race. Like the Criterium International the weather could be anything in Central Montana. Expect the un-expected.

It’s almost here…. The long anticipated debut of American Serengeti, the National Geographic Channel’s hour-long feature about American Prairie Foundation’s http://www.americanprairie.org/ effort to create the largest wildlife reserve in the continental United States.

On thousands of acres in Eastern Montana, the great American prairie is coming back – nurtured by a determined group of citizens.

The Northern Montana prairie contains some of the largest unplowed areas of grasslands in the world and some of the best habitat regions in all the Great Plains.

After seventy days of filming, National Geographic has finished production on the film American Serengeti that is scheduled to run worldwide in April.

Getting “boots on the ground” is usually what drives a true understanding of the diversity and grandeur of the Reserve and surrounding lands.

"They wanted them back–they tried to dance the buffalo back…I
think their prayers are being answered because again the buffalo are
back to grandmother earth, here in this part of the country."

American Prairie Foundation (APF) has had a presence in
Phillips County and the surrounding area since 2002. We
strive to be a good neighbor and contribute to the vitality
and diversity of the local economy.

The 60,000-acre American Prairie Reserve in Phillips County, launched by the not-for-profit American Prairie Foundation in 2006, includes about 100 bison.
