Our Commitment to Conservation

We are, first and foremost, dedicated stewards of the land. Our mission is to preserve and enhance the native Black Prairie ecosystem, ensuring this precious natural treasure thrives for generations to come.

Sustainable Practices for a Sustainable Future

Grasslands constitute the most imperiled and least protected biome in North America with the native prairie having declined rapidly in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In Mississippi, tall grass prairies are one of the most endangered ecosystems.

Comprehensive conservation planning has been the cornerstone of the Prairie Wildlife land management philosophy. We have restored more than 900 acres of historic native grasslands. Our efforts have involved defining specific resource concerns (soil, water or wildlife), identifying conservation practices to improve ecosystem health, implementing those practices and evaluating the responses. Prairie Wildlife continues to apply this iterative approach in an adaptive resource management framework.

Revitalizing the Black Prairie Ecosystem

The Black Prairie is one of North America’s most unique and endangered ecosystems. We are committed to its restoration through responsible and sustainable land management.

The Return of the Bobwhite Quail

One of our proudest achievements is our leadership in the restoration of the native bobwhite quail. Once prolific across the South, these iconic birds have faced significant population decline due to habitat loss.

Our Sporting Traditions

Development, lack of game, less land and more pollution are a few factors influencing the decline in our sporting ways today. We at Prairie Wildlife are leading the efforts to ensure the continuous existence of our valued sporting traditions for future generations by engaging in visionary conservation efforts and dedicated community involvement. We participate in statewide and national educational events, host youth events onsite and share with our guests the reality of the situation. By offering unparalleled experiences afield and working with local businesses and conservation experts we are raising awareness of the need for preservation. Over 80 percent of every dollar earned at Prairie Wildlife goes directly toward preserving our threatened ecosystem.

Bryan-Burger Endowment

The Bryan-Burger Endowment for Bobwhite Habitat Restoration, established at Mississippi State University’s College of Forest Resources, will help build upon the model established at Prairie Wildlife. Owner Jimmy Bryan and associate director of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experimentation Station and the Forest and Wildlife Research Center Wes Burger have collaborated to bring native habitats back to the Black Prairie at Prairie Wildlife.

The practices set in place at Prairie Wildlife implement a host of conservation practices that minimally impact crop and livestock production. Over the past 19 years results of research conducted at this working lands laboratory has helped shape the standards of modern land management. Fourteen MSU students have conducted graduate research here.
