dc.description.abstract	The thesis discusses early efforts at preserving the grasslands to the unsuccessful attempt in the 1970s to make a Prairie National Park in Kansas. The purpose of the study will be to see how each side tried to get its views across to the public and to the decision makers in the state and federal government. The thesis focuses on different perceptions of land usage in the Flint Hills. It deals with the landowners' attempts to preserve their ranching and farming culture, as well as those people who wanted to preserve nature unspoiled by man.	en_US
