Audubon is requesting funds through the NFWF Conservation Partners Program to expand the professional technical assistance to enrolled Audubon Conservation Ranching ranchers in eastern North and South Dakota through an Audubon Range Ecologist. The ACR program supports “bird friendly” land management practices by providing technical assistance and market connections to enrolled landowners, and it is Audubon’s goal to grow the ACR impact in North and South Dakota and support the current Range Ecologist Program in South Dakota.
