The Great Plains Grasslands Extension Partnership was created in 2021 to help streamline the adoption of research-based solutions for confronting large-scale and pervasive threats to Great Plains grasslands. The Extension Partnership grew out of the Prairie Project and is comprised of rangeland scientists and extension faculty from all land-grant universities in the Great Plains. We develop technical materials and tools, deliver educational programs through workshops and trainings, and conduct science-based outreach.
Our mission is to equip GreatPlains citizens with the information, resources, and tools necessary to improve the performance of grassland conservation and speed up the adoption of new science-based solutions. We embrace a vision of sustainable grasslands that are intertwined with rural livelihoods and communities in the Great Plains.
