Welcome to the Western Prairie Resource, Conservation & Development Council website! This site is designed to inform constituents and members about who we are, what we can do for you, our activities in Northwest Kansas and how to submit an application for assistance. Feel free to take a look around and give us your input about what you would like to see included in the future.
- Do you have concerns about conservation and our environment?
- Do you believe that conservation decisions should be made
by you and your neighbors?
- Do you believe people can accomplish their goals by working
together?
- Do you believe in a balanced economic growth that provides jobs
and preserves our precious natural and human resources?
Then join us in our efforts to address these concerns and beliefs!
Western Prairie Food, Farm & Community Alliance
The Western Prairie Food, Farm and Community Alliance (WPFFCA) is a regional food alliance for public officials, private sector partners, and food producers to better balance the demand for healthy local foods with market development. This will be accomplished through diverse partnerships for community driven policy, programs and education projects that impact health, economic development, small food business development and natural resources conservation.
The council includes representatives from Cheyenne, Decatur, Gove, Logan, Rawlins, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas and Wallace Counties.
The purpose of the group is to actively seek to improve access to regionally grown healthy food options while promoting educational resources for the benefit of the local population in Northwest Kansas.

Implementation Grants
The Western Prairie Food, Farm and Community Alliance (WPFFCA) was approached by the Sunflower Foundation and asked if we would be interested in applying for the H.E.R.O. Implementation grant after the completion of our food assessment with the planning grant. The grant was written by the four person H.E.R.O. team of Misty Jimerson, Dani Holzwarth, Sandy Rodgers and Dana Charles. The grant is for $60,000.00 and will be used for mini grants to the 9 counties in the alliance.
Many great projects are being completed in our counties. See some of the highlights below.
