Introducing Our (Not So) New Name! American Prairie Reserve

We are writing to you about a new, exciting milestone in our organization’s history: American Prairie Foundation will now be known as American Prairie Reserve http://www.americanprairie.org/ . This small shift signifies the success we’ve experienced since undertaking this project more than a decade ago and signifies the direction we are heading as both an organization and a destination.

Over the years, we’ve found that the name American Prairie Foundation could be confusing. Many people thought we were a grant-making organization and that we focused on prairie restoration as a whole, rather than our very specific goal of building a multi-million acre wildlife reserve in northeastern Montana.

This change also reflects our progress in building American Prairie Reserve. Today, while still surely a work in progress, the Reserve spans more than 123,000 acres of public and private land. It is already a haven for outdoors enthusiasts and is home to an expanding herd of bison and diversity of grassland species. The Reserve is also growing in popularity with independent travelers and groups, such as National Geographic Student Expeditions, who consider the Reserve to be a national treasure in the making.

We will continue to operate with the same focus and effectiveness that you have grown accustomed to over the years – even our logo will remain nearly identical. You shouldn’t experience any interruption in your interactions with us, and we’ve posted several frequently asked questions on our website to address questions you may have.

I hope that you are encouraged by the news and will continue to support our effort to reconnect this vast landscape. We anticipate that the next ten years will be a period of great expansion and increasing public enjoyment of American Prairie Reserve, and I encourage you to make the journey with us.
