Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, Protected grassland area in Oklahoma, United States
The 39,650-acre reserve contains extensive grasslands where native plant species grow up to 10 feet tall during the warm seasons.
The Nature Conservancy purchased the 29,000-acre Barnard Ranch in 1989 through a $15 million campaign to establish this protected prairie ecosystem.
The Osage Nation acquired this territory in 1870 for 70 cents per acre when relocating from Kansas, maintaining deep connections to these lands.
Visitors can explore the preserve through a 15-mile bison driving loop and walking trails, with access to the grounds permitted during daylight hours.
The preserve maintains 2,500 free-roaming bison that contribute to the natural management of the ecosystem through their grazing patterns.
