Prariewood Connect Foundation Fund

Our Mission: To preserve and protect the native tallgrass prairie ecology of the Wildcat Creek Valley just west of Manhattan, Kansas, and to provide critical connection to it through education, recreation, and husbandry opportunities.

Land Preservation & Stewardship
With resources raised through charitable contributions, the 600 acres of currently preserved native tallgrass prairie — the Preserve — is being acquired incrementally by PCF, protected in perpetuity, and managed with practices that optimize its ecological health.

Educational Courses & Programs
Offering a variety of dynamic programming and educational content for all ages, PCF cultivates first-hand opportunities for increased knowledge and appreciation of the tallgrass prairie.

Recreational Events & Activities
Through fun, engaging, and accessible events set amongst and inspired by the tallgrass prairie, PCF intends to bridge the gap — from merely knowing about to emotionally connecting with — this majestic but too often overlooked ecosystem.

Husbandry & Volunteerism
By providing opportunities for engagement in land stewardship, PCF will benefit from the additional resources available through organized volunteerism, while reciprocally providing those volunteers the invaluable and enriching satisfaction that comes from land husbandry.
