# Event Details - **Event Name**: TLA & The Sproul Family: Prairie Celebration & Ranch Tour - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am (-05:00) - **Event Description**: RSVP Online: https://tallgrasslegacy.info/SproulRanchTourRSVP The Sproul Family and Tallgrass Legacy Alliance invite you to join us September 10, 2026, for a full-day Prairie Celebration and Ranch Tour at Sproul Ranch. This day is centered on the Prairie itself and the Ranchers, Landowners, and Rural Communities who are caring for North America's last remaining Tallgrass Prairie, all while growing food for our nation. At the heart of the day is the Sproul Family’s philosophy and TLA’s mission: land is not only something to own or use. Land is a community we belong to, live with, and are responsible for caring for while it is our turn. This day is rooted in that understanding - in the shared responsibility to care for the Tallgrass Prairie now and carry it forward for future generations. 🔹EVENT DETAILS  ▪️Date: Thursday, September 10, 2026 ▪️Location: Sproul Ranch | Sedan, Kansas ▪️Details and directions: Provided with RSVP confirmation 🔸RSVP REQUIRED BY SEPTEMBER 5 ▪️Online: https://tallgrasslegacy.info/SproulRanchTourRSVP ▪️Email: info@tallgrasslegacy.org ▪️Phone or text: (620) 322-0209 🔹RANCHER & RESEARCHERS SPEAKING ▪️2S Land & Cattle & Theo Michaels, K-State ▪️Downey Ranch & Sophie Westbrook, K-State ▪️Sproul Ranch & Molly Reichenborn, K-State ▪️Trinity S Cattle Co, Shrum Ranching &� Laura Goodman, OK- State 🔸DAY OVERVIEW ▪️Gather Time: 9:00 AM ▪️Ranch Tour: 10:00 AM-2:00 PM ▪️A Prairie Community Conversation: 2:00 PM-2:45 PM ▪️Dinner: 2:45 PM ▪️Prairie Social: after dinner - please stay as long as you want! 🔹ABOUT THE TOUR ▪️Flint Hills Ranchers will be paired with K-State and OK-State Researchers to share both the ranching side and the research side of key topics: soils, forage, invasive species, and multi- species grazing. ▪️Each topic will connect back to the larger purpose of the day: understanding the Tallgrass Prairie as a living community, and how Ranchers can work with that community to support healthy prairie, ranching operations, and the future of the Tallgrass Prairie. 🔸RANCHER & RESEARCHERS SPEAKING ▪️2S Land & Cattle & Theo Michaels, K-State ▪️Downey Ranch & Sophie Westbrook, K-State ▪️Sproul Ranch & Molly Reichenborn, K-State ▪️Trinity S Cattle Co, Shrum Ranching &� Laura Goodman, OK- State 🔹TOPICS COVERED ▪️Soil, roots, and water as the living foundation of the prairie Managing invasive species pressure before it weakens the prairie community ▪️Warm season annual forages to increase production, extend grazing, and give Tallgrass Rangelands a break when the prairie needs it most ▪️Multi-species grazing as a practical tool for managing grazing pressure, forage use, and prairie health ▪️Grazing, fire, rest, and timing as forces that keep the Tallgrass Prairie healthy and resilient 🔸A PRAIRIE COMMUNITY CELEBRATION ▪️At the end of the prairie tour portion, the Sproul Family and other Flint Hills Ranchers will lead a conversation about the Tallgrass Prairie as a living, connected community. ▪️This conversation will bring the prairie tour back to the heart of the day: the prairie is not only something we use.
