There have been many efforts over the past two decades to build larger 
"blueprints" and "roadmaps" for grassland conservation and many have failed to 
gain enough attention to do anything...until now.  There are a bunch of larger 
efforts happening right now.  Many ignore grasslands outside the Great 
Plains/Central Flyway, but there are some that do focus on eastern issues.  
There is also an effort to build a National Grassland Conservation Act to 
provide funding for grassland conservation projects much like the National 
Wetlands Conservation Act (and the origin of the Joint Venture program).

Below are a few of the websites for some of these larger grassland conservation 
efforts.

Hi,
I thought this might be of interest to our group. Perhaps something to discuss 
on our call today as a 'blueprint' for eastern grasslands?

 for landowners who own or operate private working lands in Texas. This 
voluntary questionnaire serves to gather information on the needs, preferences, 
concerns, and challenges regarding the everyday management of property that 
landowners face.
Released once every 5 years, the survey seeks to identify the special 
characteristics and values of the diverse people who collectively own and 
manage the 141 million acres of privately-owned farms and ranches in Texas. The 
program will examine changes in demography, economy and natural resources of 
the state.
“Texas working lands are among the most productive farms, ranches, and energy 
producers in the country. Since private rural working lands comprise most of 
the open space in Texas, private rural landowners and their management 
decisions help shape our statewide resources,” said Dr. Roel Lopez, director of 
the Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute. “Supporting landowner stewardship 
makes sense because it helps conserve Texas’ rich land heritage, vital to the 
state’s economy.”
The Landowner Survey is divided into six topic areas including Land Management, 
Landowner Concerns, Land Loss/Fragmentation, Water, Hunting and Landowners.
The results are anonymous and will only be presented in an aggregate form; an 
example of past data usage can be found in the Texas Land Trends publication 
Status Update and Trends of Texas Working Lands 
1997–2017<https://url.emailprotection.link/?bH0jYn92fNNP8nNy2PnS6hISs-KMhzanP2EAFK0HWpGKn0gaZ4l78-v4M9wtREi1xSEwrd9SE27VLlXd7ijkx9ObtQFVP_rPzkji5KRLQOr8suSIk2b9PXbtlf5QtlMAT1QCcv-bkFsk0LZGW_kknfox-wdfsiPe1uzdbMdKBJvttIMH5CFvUeKs8SQDJ5rWFCRX--gKga3acqVmlNB3bkA~~>.
 Presenting this survey once every 5 years allows data scientists to determine 
how landowner preferences and needs are changing over time and how the Texas 
A&M Natural Resources Institute and other natural resource agencies can work 
together to better understand and meet those needs.
[https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/0*C3tJgO716phNrcsB.jpeg]
The questionnaire should take approximately 20–30 minutes to complete and is 
mostly multiple-choice questions. For an optimized experience, it is 
recommended to take the survey on a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Anyone 
who takes the survey has the chance to enter a raffle to win 1 of 15 Yeti® 
Texas Land Trends mugs.
