Donate Your Boat or Tractor to Support Clean Water Initiatives
Our Mission
At Prairie Guardians, we are dedicated to protecting rivers and lakes from the harmful effects of farm runoff pollution. By working closely with farmers and the boating community, we aim to ensure that everyone can enjoy clean and safe water. Our efforts include testing water quality, implementing sustainable farming practices, and educating the public about the importance of preserving our waterways.
Why We Need Your Donations
To effectively carry out our mission, we need specialized equipment. Your generous donation of a boat or tractor can significantly enhance our ability to protect our precious water resources.
- Boats: Essential for our water testing programs, boats allow our team to access various parts of rivers and lakes to monitor water quality and identify pollution sources. With your donation, we can continue to provide accurate and comprehensive data to guide our conservation efforts.
- Tractors: Crucial for our sustainable farming initiatives, tractors help us plant prairie strips and other vegetation that reduce runoff and improve soil health. Your donation will directly support our work with farmers to create environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
- Other Donations: We could also really use a truck to move the boats and tractors. We also accept Canoes, Kayaks and Paddle Boards
