Wisconsin Prairie Chicken Project

The Prairie Chicken Project is a dedicated conservation effort focused on protecting and restoring critical habitats for the endangered Greater Prairie Chicken in Wisconsin. As a keystone species of grassland ecosystems, the Greater Prairie Chicken relies on vast, open prairies to survive, yet habitat loss and fragmentation have drastically reduced its population. The project works closely with landowners, conservation groups, and local communities to implement habitat management practices that support the bird's survival. Through a combination of land restoration, research, and public education, the Prairie Chicken Project is committed to safeguarding this iconic species and ensuring the vitality of Wisconsin's grassland ecosystems for future generations.
