Habitat is vanishing, leaving wildlife with no place to go.
Our solution: Buy & Restore the Land.
The Southern Plains Land Trust purchases land for prairie wildlife. It’s that simple.
So far, we’ve protected over 60,000 acres in our preserve network, providing urgently needed refuge to a wide variety of native grassland animals and plants. Piece by piece, we are restoring the American Serengeti.
We are a member of the Land Trust Alliance, accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, and certified by the State of Colorado to hold conservation easements. Southern Plains Land Trust is a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS – all donations to our organization are tax-deductible.

Our mission: to protect and restore the Southern Plains: America’s Serengeti.
Just 150 years ago, immense herds of bison millions-strong roamed the Southern Plains, prairie dog colonies spanned hundreds of square miles, and pronghorn and elk teemed across the shortgrass prairie.
We want this biodiversity and abundant wildlife back.
