Anthony Hauck

Communications Manager, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Conservation Ranching

Anthony has dedicated his career to conservation communications, with nearly 20 years of communications experience in news media, state natural resource agencies, and conservation NGOs. For ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, Anthony focuses on publicizing the value of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ bird-friendly habitat certification. This includes growing awareness for the Ì½»¨¾«Ñ¡ Certified bird-friendly seal, a special package & promotional label on beef and bison products that tells consumers products were grazed on lands managed for birds and biodiversity. He also works to build a better public perception of grazing – specifically rotational grazing – as an essential grassland habitat management tool that's key to stabilizing declining grassland bird populations.

Anthony is a proud native of the prairie, with grassland and agricultural roots along the Minnesota and South Dakota border. His love for birds took flight at Salt Lake, a historic prairie basin and birding destination bordered by both states.
