Nothing beats learning conservation by doing.

Recently, Drake DarlingCorps scholars Jason Miller and Keith Shaver joined our team at Dunn Ranch Prairie to put their prescribed fire certifications into practice. Their work is helping restore and maintain the diverse prairie habitats that make the Grand River Grasslands such a special place.

Last weekend, two Drake DarlingCorps scholars took their skills to the prairie 🌾

Jason Miller and Keith Shaver put their burn certifications to work at Dunn Ranch, using prescribed fire to improve grazing habitat and foster diverse prairie communities in northern Missouri’s Grand River Grasslands. Working alongside The Nature Conservancy’s Dunn Ranch team, they’re gaining hands-on conservation experience while helping build a healthier, more resilient prairie.

What's your public lands story? Maybe it's a favorite hiking trail, a family camping trip or a place you go when you need a little peace and quiet.

But these places aren't guaranteed. Across the country, public lands continue to face threats from some of our state and federal government leaders—threats that would weaken critical protections and open these landscapes to development.

This National Public Lands Day, we’re celebrating the lands and waters that have given so much to us. And we are working to protect them for future generations.
