Prairie park plan advances with private to federal land deal
The National Park Service would manage the privately owned Z-Bar Ranch near Strong City under a plan backed by the Private National Park Trust. The group has a $4.7 million option to buy the 10,980 acre ranch by June 30 from Boatmen's Trust Co. Kansas City. Kansans would sit on the management board, with grazing and private use preserved while offering a working ranch for visitors. Federal approval and funding remain uncertain, but supporters see it as a way to safeguard Kansas prairie heritage and boost tourism and state development.
