Izaak Walton League of America

IWLA Strategic Plan: A Roadmap for the Future

The State – and Fate – of Prairie
Tallgrass prairie is the continent’s most endangered ecosystem. In its place are grain fields that symbolize America’s position as the world’s leader in agricultural productivity. While this land swap started a century and a half ago, it dramatically increased over the past decade, and we are now left to wonder whether such a land-use trade — so much prairie for so much corn and soybeans — has been worth it.
