Thanks to the Fund’s dynamic partnerships, more than 3,300 acres across North Dakota-including lands significant to the historic journey of Lewis and Clark-are now permanently protected, shielding the state’s natural resources and preserving its unique cultural heritage.
In 2004 the Fund brought together a diverse group of conservation partners to acquire and protect more than 950 acres at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. Explored during the historic journey of Lewis and Clark, the Neu Wildlife Management Area supports one of the most important U.S. populations of paddlefish, named for the distinctive shape of their snouts. Project partners included the American Foundation for Wildlife, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
At the Fund we help save wild havens: large, natural spaces for wildlife to be exactly that—wild. Your gift ensures that wildlife, like this bear cub, has the habitat it needs to thrive.
Peg Kohring, director of the Fund's work in the Midwest, is based in Michigan. She works with community leaders across the region. "We’re the tools in the hands of communities, helping to make conservation happen.”
