Prairie Chicken Project Wisconsin

The Prairie Chicken Project Wisconsin is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the Greater Prairie Chicken, an iconic grassland species that once thrived across Wisconsin's prairies. Through habitat restoration, land management, and monitoring efforts, the project aims to reverse population declines and preserve the species’ role in the state’s prairie ecosystems. Collaborating with local landowners, conservation organizations, and volunteers, the project restores essential grassland habitats, ensuring that the unique booming courtship rituals of the prairie chicken continue to be a part of Wisconsin's natural heritage. The project also emphasizes public education, raising awareness of the importance of grassland conservation to support this species and others that depend on these habitats.
