When a petition was filed to list the Lesser Prairie Chicken
as an endangered species High Plains RC&D lead an
effort to prevent the species from being listed as
endangered. High Plains RC&D joined the High Plains
Partnership, made up of five states from the Western
Governor’s Association, to determine why the LPC was
declining and what could be done to prevent the LPC from
being listed as endangered. The result has been that in
four years a 100,000 private land acres and 22,000 public
land acres are in voluntary habitat improvement programs
in the High Plains area with over $1.27 million to be used
on research and cost share assistance. Today the LPC is
a “species at risk”, and not “endangered.”

High Plains RC&D has been involved in many projects
development. There has been increasing demand for
cedar lumber and not enough active sawmills to meet the
demand. High Plains RC&D obtained grant funds to
purchase a sawmill, solar drying kiln, and planer. This
equipment has been obtained and has been leased to a
small business in Dewey County who will manufacture
cedar lumber that will be for sale to the general public.
This project creates two additional jobs for the region.
