Our committee assist with habitat restoration and advice. We supply members native grass, forb (wildflowers), and food plot seed (as available).

Have you heard about prairie strips? 🌻

They’re small areas of native prairie plants planted within or along crop fields that help reduce soil erosion, filter runoff, and support pollinators and wildlife.

Illinois farmers are beginning to see the benefits through the USDA’s CRP CP-43 program, which encourages adding prairie habitat back into working fields.

Macoupin County could benefit in a big way — our rolling farmland and strong ag community make this area ideal for practices that protect soil, improve water quality, and boost biodiversity without taking much land out of production.

Even local favorites like the bobwhite quail, whose numbers have dropped over the years, can find new nesting and feeding habitat in these prairie strips. 🐦

It’s a simple, science-based step that helps the land — and the wildlife — thrive. 🌱

Prairie strips are notably not a very well-known conservation practice, despite their many benefits.
