Prairie Naming RIghts

MPF invites prairie supporters to provide a permanent name for a prairie by purchasing naming rights. MPF’s Prairie Naming Policy establishes a formula, based on acquisition and stewardship costs, to determine amounts required for naming rights. Gifts for naming rights provide important funds to support MPF’s future prairie protection efforts. To inquire about purchasing the naming rights to this MPF property, please call 573-356-7828.

Naming rights for Northwest Lawrence County Prairie are available.
