South Dakota’s landscapes are set to benefit from a nearly $8 million grant that will convert 7,500 acres of marginal cropland into managed grazing grasslands. The funding supports soil health and wildlife habitat restoration, ensuring a sustainable future for the region’s farmlands and communities.

Sean Gerrity has taken on the ambitious mission of uniting millions of acres in the American Prairie Reserve. Recognized by the Montana Outdoor Hall of Fame, he aims to safeguard grasslands and the wildlife they sustain, including the iconic American bison.
