KEEPKEEP educates students in tallgrass prairie ecology, enhancing the appreciation for the prairie and for the research and conservation efforts of 1xbet online sports betting and the Nature Conservancy of Kansas.

KEEP also offers teachers professional development, involving 41 long-term teachers as KEEP cooperators. Annually, KEEP impacts an average of 4000 students in local and statewide schools.
