Review:
Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is a 10,894-acre national park located in the Flint Hills region, north of Strong City, Kansas. It protects a remnant of the tallgrass prairie that once cov-ered 170 million acres of the United States, stretching from Indiana to Kansas and from Canada to Texas.
Nowadays, only 4% remains, the rest having mostly been plowed under for urban or agricultural development. The park contains over 500 species of plants, 39 species of reptiles, 31 species of mammals, and nearly 150 species of birds. There are a number of hiking trails and bus tours and you can also drive along the many trails, although most of the flora and fauna are too small to be seen from a passing car.
