Enhancing grassland ecosystems while sustaining private, profitable ranching
The Sandhills Task Force
Established in 1993, the Sandhills Task Force’s mission is to partner with Sandhill ranchers; local communities, groups, and organizations; and local, state, and federal agencies to identify, prioritize, plan, and implement mutually acceptable projects that benefit private ranching, wildlife, and vegetative diversity, and associated water supplies.

SPOTLIGHT
Ang Wright
Ang is a Ducks Unlimited Biologist and was appointed to the Sandhills Task Force Board in 2023. She lives in Valentine, NE, and is married to Greg. They have two girls – Harper, age 7, and Hattie, age 4. She enjoys all things outdoors, including hunting, fishing, kayaking, and camping. In her spare time, you can usually find her spending time with family at the lake or river and roaming the hills. Ang grew up in Valentine at the State Fish Hatchery.
