42mi from Pierre · 5 sites · Lower Brule, SDThe Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Department of Wildlife, Fish and Recreation stands out for its exceptional commitment to wildlife management and habitat enhancement on the reservation, a dedication that has spanned over 50 years. This unique approach ensures that visitors can experience a thriving ecosystem while enjoying outdoor activities.
Each year, comprehensive population surveys are conducted for all game species, allowing biologists to gather crucial data. After the hunting seasons conclude, hunters receive questionnaires to provide insights into their harvest rates. This valuable information informs recommendations for future hunting seasons, ensuring sustainable practices.
In addition to wildlife surveys, the Tribe plants thousands of trees and cultivates hundreds of acres of food plots annually. Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to restore thousands of acres of marginal cropland back to grasslands. The reintroduction of rare and endangered species, such as the black-footed ferret and swift fox, highlights the Tribe's dedication to biodiversity.
