Plants found at the Park at Lee Mill Heights The tallgrass prairie ecosystem once covered most of the Flint Hills. Now, due to plowing and agricultural uses, less than 4% of the original tallgrass prairie remains. Tallgrass prairie ecosystems are dominated by grasses such as Big Bluestem, Indian grass, LiƩle Bluestem, and Switchgrass. Forbs, herbaceous flowering plants, are common amongst the grasses. The forbs help aƩract pollinaƟng animals such as birds, bees, buƩerflies, or other animals. The grasses and forbs play an important role in the tallgrass prairie ecosystem.
