A historic 1880s ranch on one of the last remaining tallgrass prairie ecosystems.

For this month’s Hidden Kansas, Beccy Tanner takes us to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Chase County where one of the state’s most infamous stories is being retold as a film.

In 2015, through a partnership agreement with the National Forest Foundation and the USDA Forest, 27 bison were introduced as a restoration experiment. In the beginning there were 23 cows and four bul...

The bronze bust of John Brown by Kansas sculptor Jim Brothers has the passion and movement of any Hellenistic masterpiece. Louis Copt’s painting of the Fox Creek Schoolhouse on the Kansas Tallgrass Prairie rivals the great Dutch master Johannes Vermeer’s “View of Delft.” The work of these fellow Midwesterners fires my imagination, inspires me, compels […]

Minnesota, with its four ecological provinces — Tallgrass Aspen Parklands, Prairie Parkland, Laurentian Mixed Forest and Eastern Broadleaf Forest — is replete with floristic and faunal diversity. For this reason, our great state is home to numerous and varied species of wildlife, including an array of grouse and grouse-like species of avifauna. Among the many species of grouse and members of the family is a species of special concern, the greater prairie chicken. Indeed, on Minnesota’s list of endangered, threatened and special concern species, the greater prairie chicken holds a distinctive spot on the list as Minnesota’s rarest and special need species of grouse. Only a handful of counties in northwest Minnesota’s western fringe where suitable and expansive critical grassland habitat still exist — primarily on public land and private land owned and managed by the conservation organization The Nature Conservancy — harbors this unique and important species of grassland-dependent grouse. Prairie chickens, once exceedingly abundant pre-European settlement and resultant prairie grasslands’ massive conversion to agriculture and rangeland throughout the Great Plains, was once described by early settlers as “numberless”. I remember the first time I ever observed prairie chickens. My University of North Dakota ornithology class gathered in ground...
