The Southeastern Grasslands Initiative (SGI) held its inaugural volunteer workday at Dunbar Cave State Park on Sunday, January 27th, and all agreed it was a huge success.

A presentation about grassland loss, the single greatest conservation issue currently facing eastern North American terrestrial biodiversity. Southern grasslands are nearly extinct and the species that depend on them are fading fast.

Cooper Breeden is the recently hired Conservation Coordinator of the Tennessee Plant Conservation Alliance, a new initiative in the state.

After years of science pointing to the dire state of grasslands worldwide, an award from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation puts southeastern grasslands squarely on the conservation agenda.

SGI has added a research associate to our team in early 2018.

SGI is excited to announce it has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Society for Range Management.
