About
The
Migratory Bird Program of the US Fish and Wildlife Service is leading an effort
to create a network of grassland landscapes in the Midwest to promote implementation of state and regional conservation plans. The Midwest Grasslands Network generates spatial information, strategic guidance, and
cross-sector collaborations that uphold the many ecological and societal values
of native, restored, and working grasslands.
The purpose of this Data Basin group is to gather, develop, and disseminate spatial information that promotes coordinated grassland conservation in the eastern
Prairie Potholes, Upper Mississippi River / Great Lakes, and Central Hardwoods
ecoregions. Our Conservation Atlas for Midwest Grasslands serves information
about priority wildlife species, ecosystem services, and conservation opportunities in
order to guide decisions at multiple spatial scales. Atlas data can be used for: gap analysis, conservation design, and project ranking for grants,
easements, purchases, and landowner incentives.
