Community membership

Root yourself in the prairie.

A membership keeps you close to 285 acres of native Loess Hills prairie all year β€” not just when you're on the land. Your contribution is tax-deductible as a 501(c)(3) donation.

Tax-deductible giving

Every dollar is a tax-deductible contribution to a 501(c)(3) public charity. No goods or services are exchanged β€” 100% of your membership goes to the land.

A recurring relationship

Monthly support creates stability for restoration work that happens across years, not weekends. Burn schedules, invasive removal, and native seeding all depend on consistent funding.

Close to Russ & Carolyn
