关于我们
The Southern Plains Land Trust (SPLT) creates and protects a network of shortgrass prairie preserves, which ensure a future for all native animals and plants. SPLT accomplishes this goal by purchasing lands in the southern Great Plains. To further this goal we encourage our preserve neighbors, whether private or governmental, to respect the plains ecology and learn to live in harmony with it. SPLT celebrated the purchase of the first block of our reserve network in November 1998: a 1,280-acre parcel in Baca County, Colorado three miles north of the Comanche National Grassland. We named this property the Fresh Tracks Nature Preserve to acknowledge the welcome sight of native animal tracks on the land and to signify a new path toward land management in the Southern Plains, one where wildlife is respected for its own intrinsic value. We have since added multiple preserves to our network in southeastern Colorado, for a total of over 26,000 acres. SPLT is certified by the State of Colorado to hold conservation easements, is registered with the State of New Mexico, and is a member of the Land Trust Alliance and the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts.

The first red dog of the year has been born! ?? Baby bison are called red dogs because of the orange-reddish fur that they have during their first months. What should we name this little calf? #BisonCalf #WildlifePhotography #Conservation #southernplains #colorado #rewilding

Heartland Ranch Nature Preserve just released 9 more black-footed ferrets! These highly endangered mammals have been reintroduced to our largest preserve for three consecutive years, and now a fourth group of ferrets was given a forever home in the wild. In total, we have now released 114 black-footed ferrets onto the preserve. We wish them well! ?? by Jonathan Reitz

This week is Rewilding Week! Southern Plains Land Trust is part of the Global Rewilding Alliance: a worldwide organization working with rewilders on every continent to help nature heal itself and secure a thriving future for people, nature and planet. By initiating the comeback of numerous wildlife species and working hand-in-hand with indigenous and local communities, rewilding is restoring healthy ecosystems. These functional ecosystems capture vast amounts of carbon, provide fresh air and clean water, and stabilize extreme weather - they are vital to our prosperity, survival, and security.

The secret life of badgers...Student Emma Balunek is finishing up her thesis on the cooperative hunting behavior of badgers and coyotes. Badgers have a mostly carnivorous diet, hunting for prairie dogs, other small rodents, bird chicks, and even rattlesnakes! We have been monitoring the badgers on our preserves closely, as we are interested to find out what could cause black-footed ferret mortality. Stay tuned for more info! Video by Emma Balunek
