About
The grasslands PR team.
From the highway, you see a blanket of grass ever flowing and unchanging. Occasionally, the wind bends the grass like the waves of the ocean. Sound familiar? If you’ve never found a love for grasslands, you’ve probably never hiked in one. Take a step into a grassland and you’ll find birds, bumblebees, antelope, foxes, and a whole rainbow of wildflowers that change with the seasons. Each grass is different in size or shape, and each bird sings a different song as they flit by. The sky stretches to the horizon giving you a magnificent sunset unseen elsewhere.
Grasslands are overlooked and underappreciated. We’re here to change that. These grasses are home to an untold number of plants and animals and they are disappearing fast. Learn their stories and spread the word: grasslands are worthy of your fascination. Grasslands are worth saving.
We’re your grasslands PR team, working to educate ecosystem dynamics for the love of grasslands.
