Prairie Day

In tribute to the cultural and biological importance of North Dakota’s diverse grassland ecosystems, Gov. Kelly Armstrong proclaimed June 6, 2026, Prairie Day.

Native prairie is worth celebrating every day, but Prairie Day gives us one moment each year to raise awareness for a habitat that is often overlooked and undervalued, yet essential to North Dakota’s identity, economy and ecological future.

Events are being hosted by local organizations across the state throughout the month of June to celebrate the prairie.
