WICHITA — A conservation group has finalized the purchase of about 30,000 acres of lesser prairie chicken habitat in southwest Kansas.
The Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies said Monday in a news release that its acquisition of the Sunview Ranch in Hamilton County is a significant conservation development.
The ranch is located in a sand sagebrush area which covers portions of Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma that once contained the highest density of lesser prairie chickens in the country.
