Tallgrass Prairie Preserve



SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE PRESERVE!
The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve was created in 1996 under a unique
public/private partnership between the National Park Service and the National
Park Trust.  This partnership allows for more land to be protected with no
additional cost to taxpayers.  The NPT purchased the 10,894 acre remnant of the
Tallgrass prairie in 1994 for future management as a unit of the National Park
System.

The National Park Service is continuing to work on the Tallgrass Prairie
National Preserve General Monument Plan. At this stage of the planning process,
the team has developed a draft preferred alternative for the future management
of the preserve. The plan will describe the general direction the Park Service
will follow in managing the preserve. Once completed, the new general management
plan will provide both a vision for the future of the preserve and a practical
framework for it's management.

Open houses have been scheduled to allow for us to hear about this alternative
plan and to share ideas with the planning team. It is important that we the
public show our support for the unique management partnership currently in place
and the grasslands it has preserved.

The new plan will describe the general direction the Park Service will follow in
managing the preserve. We need to make sure that direction is a good one!

Here are the dates, times, and places--if you're in the neighborhood, get out
and show your support!
