Brandenburg Prairie Foundation Inc

The Brandenburg Prairie Foundation was founded in 1999 by National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg, his wife Judy, and supporters in Luverne, Minnesota, with a mission to educate, promote, preserve, and expand native prairie in southwest Minnesota. Working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the foundation has helped purchase over 1,000 contiguous acres of tallgrass prairie in Rock County, Minnesota, now part of the Touch the Sky Northern Tallgrass Prairie National Wildlife Refuge, under a 15-year restoration and management plan.
