GOALS:
|
- Prevent
further loss of tallgrass prairie
- National
recognition as a producer-driven, landscape scale initiative,
designed for private landowners to voluntarily, with
agency assistance, manage the remaining Kansas Tallgrass
Prairie in a manner that fiscally supports the ranching
culture and does so in an ecologically sound manner,
precluding any further listing of tallgrass species under
the Endangered Species Act.
- Develop
specific Farm Bill policies for tallgrass prairie.
- Develop
a tallgrass conservation easement program in Kansas.
- Provide
better utilization of existing programs for the benefit
of Kansas tallgrass prairie.
- Facilitate
public awareness of the benefits provided by Kansas tallgrass
prairie, such as:
- watershed
protection and resulting water quality benefits
- economic
value of the ranching industry
- view
sheds/open space vistas
- carbon
sequestering
- cultural
and historical values
- home
to numerous species of threatened plant and animal
species.
