Happy World Soil Day!

Healthy soil keeps our Great Plains ecosystems thriving—and fire plays a big part in that.

Prescribed burns help support the plants and organisms that make our soils strong. 🌾

May was Mental Health Month, but we are over here STILL sharing the importance of mental health in agriculture & conservation fields.

We've put together an event for people to pause & rejuvenate their minds and bodies all while enjoying the landscape of the Great Plains.

We love it when National Mascot Day is during National Grassland Week! A perfect Match.

Last week Blaze & friend @BurnerBob got to hang out in a little different ecosystem than usual. They we're able to get some #RxFire on the ground at the East Texas Fire & Nature Festival.

"Grasslands don't have what?"
