Missouri Prairie Foundation
For over 55 years, the Missouri Prairie Foundation has been conserving Missouri’s prairies and other native grasslands—some of the most imperiled habitats on the planet. We are also home to the Grow Native! plant education and marketing program and the Missouri Invasive Plant Council. The Missouri Prairie Foundation organizes many hikes, field tours, bird watching trips, campouts, work days, and other events throughout the year to connect more people to their prairie legacy. At our annual Prairie BioBlitz, for example, prairie enthusiasts team up with biologists at a given prairie to document as many plants and animals during a weekend. MPF also produces the Missouri Prairie Journal, one of few publications devoted to native grassland conservation, with articles on prairie biodiversity, native plant gardening and landscaping, native grassland management and restoration information, and beautiful photography. The Missouri Prairie Journal is sent to members as a benefit of membership, as well as to libraries, schools, and elected officials.
