Colorado’s National Grasslands: Wild Prairies Worth Protecting

Join Grasslands Unlimited for an inside look at the wide open beauty of America’s National Grasslands and why these wild prairies are among the country’s most overlooked public lands. Discover the history, recreation opportunities, and the ecological importance of these remarkable landscapes. National Grasslands offer rare opportunities to experience solitude, wildlife, and big‑sky adventure—yet many people don’t even know they exist. Learn what makes the National Grassland System unique, the challenges these prairies face today, and how you and your community can help ensure their protection for generations to come. About our speaker: Trevor Pellrite is the executive director of Grasslands Unlimited and an attorney ecologist with more than a decade of experience restoring and protecting prairie ecosystems across Colorado and Nebraska. He brings deep field knowledge and a passion for empowering others to advocate for the wildlands they love.
