National Preserve2 alertsTallgrass Prairie National PreserveTallgrass prairie once covered 170 million acres of North America, but within a generation most of it had been transformed into farms, cities, and towns. Today less than 4% remains intact, mostly in the Kansas Flint Hills. Established on November 12, 1996, the preserve protects a nationally significant remnant of the once vast tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Here the tallgrass makes its last stand.81 within 50 mi

Board decision.64 within 25 mi · 15 free nearby2 alerts
