About the Prairie Project

 Land use and environmental changes are threatening the rangelands of the Great Plains and the associated ecosystem services vital to society. As a collaboration among Texas A&M University, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, The Prairie Project aims to examine how pyric-herbivory and mixed-species grazing can support the sustainability of livestock production and ecosystem services in the Great Plains region.

We are a community of educators interested in bringing the science of pyric-herbivory and mixed-species grazing to diverse learning experiences for our students.

Our activities include:

• Designing and implementing high-impact learning experiences for our students
• Promoting and assessing student understanding of sustainability of rangelands and ecosystem services
• Conducting collaborative research in the areas of teaching and learning
