Join the Missouri Prairie Foundation:
Saving the prairies isn't for everyone, but if you're reading this it is probably for you. The more you learn about the fascinating world of native grasslands, the more you want to know. By joining the Missouri Prairie Foundation, you'll be among the leaders in the prairie restoration movement. MPF is a "can do" organization with low overhead and great flexibility. Currently, MPF has 3,200 members throughout Missouri and the Midwest. Our goal is to increase our membership to 5,000 by 2009 and increase the pace of prairie protection in Missouri through innovative partnerships with government agencies, non-profits, businesses and private landowners.

Volunteer your Time, Talents or Treasure:
MPF holds a series of volunteer work days during the year. Those events usually include opportunities to camp, remove encroaching trees and brush from the prairies and learn about prairie restoration techniques. Those with interest and training can assist with prescribed burns of our prairies. MPF is also developing educational materials to be presented at festivals and fairs. We are always looking for volunteers to help identify appropriate places to distribute materials and to serve as prairie ambassadors at local events.
