WLFW is pleased to make the powerful America's Grassland Exhibit available for NRCS and partners to use at indoor events for educating and promoting healthy grasslands.
Please fill out the form below at least three weeks in advance of your event date. Note that the exhibit may already be reserved by other parties but we will work to meet all requests.
This immersive exhibit includes a 8x50’ modular mural that is broken into five 8x10’ panels.
Available materials also include three 32-inch wide x 90-inch tall banners.
Groups requesting the exhibit agree to pay for shipping to their event. WLFW will pay return shipping. Details below.
Please request America’s Grassland Exhibit materials at least three weeks prior to your event. The sooner you request your dates, the better. Sometimes requests overlap and dates are first come-first reserved.
Anyone is eligible to borrow the America’s Grasslands Exhibit subject to NRCS South Dakota State Office and WLFW approval.
The exhibit was originally sponsored by Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW), the South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts (SDACD), South Dakota Association of Conservation Districts Employees (SDACDE), South Dakota Grassland Coalition (SDGC), South Dakota Soil Health Coalition (SDSHC), Pheasants Forever, Inc. and Quail Forever, and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Today it is managed by WLFW, NRCS South Dakota and the NRCS Distribution Center in Kansas City, MO.
Yes, please email Greg Peters, Assistant Communications Director at Working Lands for Wildlife, with more details of your request. The materials you need may still be available.
Western WLFW's Director of Communications will ship the items to the requestor upon approval and with receipt of outbound shipping labels from requestor. Return labels will be included in the exhibit and will be paid by WLFW. It is the responsibility of the requester to ensure outbound shipping labels are correct and delivered to WLFW's Communications Director at least two weeks prior to ship date.
Depending on what is borrowed, you may need other materials to fully utilize the exhibit. Ex: extension cords, internet/electricity access and more. A complete list will be given upon contract completion.
No. The America’s Grasslands Exhibit is not be available for outdoor events because it is made of non-weather-proof fabric, difficult to secure to the ground in the event of wind, and requires electricity.
