Native Prairie Grasses

The sign reads: "Step back in time and imagine thousands of Bison grazing on native Kansas grasses and forbs similar to those before you. Today very few examples of native prairie exist due to man's influence on the land. The examples of native grasses illustrated below all grow in clumps or bunches and provide excellent habitat for many small grassland animals. During your visit explore the park's native grasses and discover their importance in our heritage and natural environment"
