Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve
Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is a newer type of national park where the land is managed by the National Park Service, but privately owned. Legislation in 1991 formed the Preserve, but local groups objected to National Park Service ownership. In 1994, senators Kassebaum-Baker and Bob Dole introduced a bill to allow for the creation of the national preserve while limiting National Park Service ownership to no more than 180 acres of the total area. Located in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, just north of Strong City, the 10,894-acre Spring Hill/Z-Bar Ranch, comprising today's preserve, was purchased by the private National Park Trust. In 2005 it sold again to The Nature Conservancy. Today the preserve protects a large section of tallgrass prairie habitat and is home to a growing herd of bison. Over 40 miles of hiking trails are maintained on the property, which allows visitors to hike the scenic grasslands.
