Your environmental ed specialists.

Grasslands are a human habitat. They are our home, and their conservation, now more than ever, depends upon people who are empowered and inspired to protect them.

Grassland Groupies is a women- and queer-run nonprofit focused on environmental education. We stoke curiosity, build scientific literacy, and rekindle a love for our planet’s most delicate ecosystems.

This has been our mission for the last four years, and we’re happy to say that our staff, along with our volunteers and community partners, have accomplished this work in record numbers in 2024.

Our Mission

Inspiring conservation of grasslands.

Empower

Civic engagement, outdoor exploration, science literacy

Inspire

Curiosity, action, learning, and discovery

Engage

Foster and develop bonds between people and their ecosystems.

“The first step in conserving anything is an awareness of the value of its existence. Without getting to know an animal, plant, or person, one can intellectually respect its right to life, but one cannot truly feel its worth or know what is required to save it.”

Podcast: Filthy Animals

We believe it’s mission critical to help our community practice science literacy. Filthy Animals dives into the science topics that educators are often too embarrassed to talk about.
