Southern Plains Land Trust

The Southern Plains Land Trust purchases land for prairie wildlife. It’s that simple.

So far, we’ve protected over 60,000 acres in our preserve network, providing urgently needed refuge to a wide variety of native grassland animals and plants. Piece by piece, we are restoring the American Serengeti.

We are a member of the Land Trust Alliance, accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, and certified by the State of Colorado to hold conservation easements.

Great Plains Conservation Network

The mission of the Great Plains Conservation Network (GPCN) is to restore and maintain the native species, habitats and natural processes of the Great Plains.

Our strategy is to work in partnerships with those who live, work, and recreate in this region to identify and maintain the areas that best contribute to this mission. Through collaboration, we seek to prevent loss or fragmentation of these areas, restore wildlife where possible, and facilitate wildlife movement and other important processes.

To succeed, we must identify and link much larger areas than are designated for wildlife and natural habitat today. We must begin to think and to act on a different scale – the scale of natural processes (wildlife migrations, fire, hydrology) that transcend municipal and political boundaries.
