This nationally significant example of the once vast tallgrass prairie ecosystem also includes historic buildings and cultural resources of the Spring Hill Ranch in the Flint Hills region of Kansas. The federal government will own up to 180 acres, with the National Park Trust--the purchaser of the property in 1994--retaining ownership of the rest of the preserve. The National Park Service will manage and operate the entire preserve under a public-private agreement. UNDER DEVELOPMENT.
