Grasslands are Home to Many Species

Grassland birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, and other living things depend on the resources grassland plants and spaces provide.

Currently over 73 grassland-associated species are listed by the state & federal Endangered Species Acts: 14 vertebrates and 59 plants, and 14 invertebrates, including 6 butterfly species (1). This count does not even include native pollinators and other grassland-dependent plants and animals experiencing sharp declines.
