What We Do

Grasslands Unlimited is dedicated to restoration and advocacy for grassland ecosystems throughout Nebraska and the Great Plains. Our current work in Omaha focuses on restoring ignored public property back to native habitat, including at Pacific Preserve, Lamp Park, and Zorinsky Lake. In 2024 we purchased Cottonwood Creek Preserve, a 6.5 acre outlot which we are converting from turf grass and invasive trees to native prairie and woodlands, showcasing the importance of urban conservation and the opportunities that exist right in your own neighborhood.

Interesting Info
  • We have worked on habitat restoration in three states and four different sites in Omaha alone!
  • Less than 4% of America's historic tallgrass prairie remains.
  • Our goal is restoration of the grasslands and prairies to their former vitality and beauty
