As a follow up and companion to the 2025 CPOP Conference, we are thrilled to announce that the CPOP Special Issue with the Natural Areas Journal is now live! This special issue features an introduction and eleven papers that explore prairie-oak conservation through the lenses of at-risk species, tribal co-stewardship, landscape-scale management, and more.
