Prairie fires are essential to maintaining the unique ecology of the flint hills. The tradition of prescribed burning started with Native Americans who used fire to generate new growth that attracted bison. Today, the springtime ritual, which sustains the rich grasslands for the region’s cattle herds, is celebrated in regional art. You can experience prescribed burning at local events like Flames in the Flint Hills at Flying W Ranch.
