Notes
Tallgrass prairie once covered 170 million acres of North America, but within a generation most of it had been transformed into farmland. 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.
Personal Notes
Prairie is an integrated ecosystem of over 1000 plant species that grow densely together and many animals and insects. Native prairie is actually all over the west (despite the above note's claim) in unused areas, highway borders, etc.
