We are leaders in the conservation community. But we are not just conservationists. We are also economists, social scientists, and communicators. We come from federal and state governments, non-for-profit and private organizations, tribal groups, and pre-existing partnerships. We see beyond agency lines and authorities, to identify what is in the best interest of our collective community, both within the LCC and outside of the LCC, to benefit fish, wildlife, habitat and people.
Work in the Plains and Prairie Pothole Landscape Conservation Cooperative is accomplished through a variety of partners from state, federal and nongovermental agencies and organizations. The Prairie Pothole, Prairie Habitat and Northern Great Plains Joint Ventures, numerous Missouri River conservation and management organizations, and more than 20 other conservation partners have served as founding members of this LCC.
Researchers Steve Krentz, Bob Gresswell, Kathy Chase and Chris Merkord respond to questions from technical committee members related to large rivers and streams research. Service photo.
