Wachiska's Dedication

To Prairie Preservation

Wachiska Audubon Society is recognized locally and nationally for our successful efforts to protect tallgrass prairie in and around our 17-county chapter area, through both direct ownership and by holding conservation easements for private land owners. We manage the prairies we own with the goal to preserve and improve the prairie, provide habitat for prairie plants and animals, and to offer students, scientists, and the general public opportunities to study and enjoy these unique and increasingly rare ecosystems.

As a nonprofit conservation, education, and outreach

organization, Wachiska is dedicated to protecting native grasslands in Southeast Nebraska. Do you own or manage a native prairie in Southeast Nebraska you would like to protect? One of the tools available to landowners is a conservation easement. These are flexible agreements between Wachiska and an interested landowner to maintain the grassland in perpetuity.

If you or someone you know would be interested in protecting native grassland, or would llike to see what a conservation easement looks like, please contact the Wachiska office and we'll put you in contact with one of our conservation committee members.
