American elm
Add to Cart Add to Lightbox DownloadA large American elm tree provides shade at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve as a pickup truck passes by on Kansas State Highway 177 near the towns of Strong City and Cottonwood Falls. Highway 177, a National Scenic Byway, passes through the heart of the Flint Hills. Less than four percent of the original 140 million acres of tallgrass prairie remains in North America. Most of the remaining tallgrass prairie is in the Flint Hills in Kansas. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is the only unit of the National Park Service dedicated to the preservation of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is co-managed with The Nature Conservancy.
