High West Distillery is passionate about the American West’s natural beauty. That’s why we want to raise awareness of one of the most fantastic projects of our time: the American Prairie Reserve in Northern Montana. This is an amazing effort to assemble the largest wildlife reserve in the lower 48 states. When stepping on to the plains of American prairie reserve, it’s easy to imagine the landscape as Lewis and Clark and Native Americans saw it, with thundering herds of bison, racing bands of pronghorn antelope and prairie dog towns dotting the horizon. When complete,the reserve will be approximately 5,000 square miles; larger then Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Teton National Parks combined.
Capable of running up to 55 miles an hour, the pronghorn antelope is North America’s fastest land mammal and performs the continent’s second longest land migration of more then 500 miles. Because of their love for travel, pronghorn populations have decreased 98% since the 1800’s due to habitat destruction. American Prairie Reserve helps pronghorn through its ongoing fence removal efforts and by conserving wildlife corridors.
