Audubon Dakota’s Working Lands consists of privately-managed lands enrolled in the Audubon Conservation Ranching Initiative, Prairie Management Toolbox Programs and Conservation Forage Program. Land owners participate in enhancement and preservation of critical grassland habitats. Audubon Dakota also helps land owners apply “bird-friendly” grazing practices and develop market-based solutions to build economic incentives that benefit landowners, consumers and the environment.
