The Powder River Coalition (PRC) is a collaborative partnership of agencies and organizations working together to implement boots-on-the-ground conservation work across the Powder River Basin. Our mission is to prioritize landscape connectivity, habitat, sustainable land use, and research through the coordinated efforts of PRC partners on both private and public lands.

Objective 1. Develop a network of conservation professionals in the Powder River Basin where science, education, and collaboration combine to increase synergy of conservation efforts and strategies.

Objective 2: Highlight the conservation needs and ongoing work to develop interest in conservation efforts in the Powder River Basin.
