In April 2024, the Transboundary Grassland Partnership (TGP) conducted a membership questionnaire to better understand who we are as a network and where our collective efforts are focused.
We reached out to over 300 participants, and received 54 responses.
Our members work across a wide geographic range, reflecting the transboundary nature of our network. The distribution highlights strong representation from key prairie regions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Montana.
Respondents represent a diverse mix of organizations, including:
Government agencies
Conservation organizations
Academic institutions
Private industry professionals
This diversity strengthens our collaborative capacity and brings a variety of perspectives to prairie conservation.
Participants identified their primary goals (multiple selections allowed), in which over 30 participants responded Conservation of Habitat or Species, and Restoration/Recovery of Habitat or Species.
When asked about the most effective initiatives for conserving species-at-risk, preventing native grassland loss, and restoring prairie landscapes, members cited:
Federal programs
Land Trust
Conservation is a team effort. Members regularly collaborate with:
Conservation groups
Government departments at all levels
Producer organizations
Networks
Neighbour’s
These insights help us better understand our strengths, identify gaps, and focus our energy where it matters most. Thank you to everyone who took part in the questionnaire—your voice shapes our path forward.
