Grasslands
The Bluebell Ranch is a privately-owned and managed property in Deuel County within the Prairie Coteau landscape, South Dakota. The Prairie Coteau is one of the nation’s largest and best remaining grasslands located in southern North Dakota, eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. All of Bluebell Ranch’s approximately 7,000 acres are under U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grassland and wetland easements, which ensures the grassland will remain available for grazing and wildlife. Part of Bluebell Ranch was conserved under the Prairies without Borders project, which was created by the Conservancy and partners to purchase additional U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grassland and wetland easements in order to conserve large contiguous tracts of native grassland in the Prairie Coteau. Bluebell Ranch is located in Deuel County, South Dakota, within the Prairie Coteau landscape.
