The preserve, owned by The Nature Conservancy, is home to about 2,700 bison. A network of gravel roads allows the public the opportunity for close encounters not only with the bison but also with the natural tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Also at the preserve, the conservancy has set aside some 11,000 acres devoted to the development of progressive range management techniques for domestic livestock.
