The success of STRIPS is due to support from our numerous institutional partners, supporters, and stakeholder advisory committee members. In addition to these lists, we are honored to work with a growing number of private farmers and farmland owners. A big THANK YOU to all!
STRIPS defines partners as those who are actively working to meet our mission:
We strive to more fully understand the assembly, management, function, and value of prairie strips; to communicate our results to diverse audiences; and to assist others with the implementation of prairie strips on farm fields.
