Дендрарий Бартлетта

Дендра́рий Ба́ртлетта (англ. Bartlett Arboretum) — частный дендрарий, расположенный на территории города Белл-Плейн в штате Канзас. История Дендрарий был основан в 1910 году, когда натуралист и врач Уолтер Бартлетт приобрёл около 15 акров близ ручья Евфрат, притока реки Ниннеска. На ручье была построена плотина, в образовавшееся озеро были завезены рыбы, поселились водоплавающие птицы (утки, гуси и пеликаны), на территории были посажены первые деревья. Также Бартлетт создал на территории спортивную площадку с бейсбольным полем. С 1926 по 1942 в саду ежегодно проводились выставки тюльпанов. В 1930-х годах Министерство сельского хозяйства США регулярно присылало Бартлетту растения для тестирования возможности выращивания их на данной географической широте. В 1937 году Уолтер Бартлетт скончался, сад достался его сыну Гленну, профессиональному ландшафтному архитектору и садоводу. Гленн Бартлетт во время Первой мировой войны служил во Франции, по аэрофотоснимкам изучал ландшафты и сады. Затем он учился в Тулузском университете, после чего, по возвращении в США, вместе с женой Маргарет Мейерс продолжил расширение сада. Гленн Бартлетт умер в 1976 году, Мэри — в 1990-м, после чего сад был закрыт для посещения. В 1997 году арборетум приобрела Робин Линн Мэйси, одна из основательниц музыкальной группы в стиле кантри Dixie Chicks. В 2010 году по заявке Мэйси Дендрарий Бартлетта был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. Код в реестре — 10000180. Описание ботанического сада Дендрарий занимает территорию 6,2 га, расположен на пересечении дороги штата Канзас K-55 и улицы Line Street в городе Белл-Плейн в 20 милях к югу от Уичито. Свободный доступ в сад закрыт, посещение возможно только по предварительной записи. В дендрарии регулярно проводятся концерты на открытом воздухе.

Bernhard Warkentin Homestead

The Bernhard Warkentin Homestead, also known as Little River Stock Farm or Warkentin Farm, is a historic farm complex on East North Street in Halstead, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was further declared to be a National Historic Landmark in 1990, nationally significant for its association with Bernhard Warkentin, a pivotal figure in the development and wide cultivation of durum wheat in the country. Description and history The Warkentin Farm is located on the northern fringe of Halsted, on the east side of Main Street at East North Street. The property consists of 12 acres (4.9 ha), bound on the south by railroad tracks, the north and east by the Arkansas River, and the west by a grain elevator. The farm complex is clustered near the western end of the property, with fields to the east. Buildings in the farmstead include the house, carriage house, barn, a silo, and a small pump house. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, built in 1884 to a design by Kansas architect John G. Haskell. Bernhard Warkentin was a well-to-do Russian immigrant of German extraction, who immigrated to the United States from Russia in 1872. In Russia he had been involved in the family business, the raising and milling of wheat. A de facto leader of a Mennonite emigration and colonization effort, Warkentin purchased over 1,300 acres (530 ha), and established is home and mill here in 1874, while working to assist other German Mennonites in their drive to leave Russia. One of the major improvements in agriculture that Warkentin and the Mennonites brought with them were knowledge of Russian hard wheat varieties, which they brought over in the early years of the colonization. In 1896, Warkentin began working with Mark Carleton of the United States Department of Agriculture to improve American knowledge of Russian wheat varieties, which eventually resulted in the hybridization experiments that produced durum wheat, one of the nation's leading wheat crops.

Maxwell Wildlife Refuge

The Maxwell Wildlife Refuge in McPherson County, Kansas, consists of 2,574 acres (1,042 ha) of mostly mixed grass prairie. Bison and elk inhabit the refuge. The McPherson State Fishing Lake adjoins the refuge and adds another 260 acres (110 ha) of protected area, including a 46 acres (19 ha) lake. History In 1859 an immigrant from Scotland, John Gault Maxwell (born 1825), settled in McPherson County. He helped to preserve the prairie and a remnant of the bison rapidly being extirpated from the Great Plains. In 1940, his son Henry willed $75,000 for the establishment of a refuge. In 1951, the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge was officially opened with a herd of 10 bison and 6 elk. A portion of the land was set aside for the construction of the McPherson County Fishing Lake. Description The refuge sits at the southern edge of the Smoky Hills in the headwaters of Gypsum Creek at an elevation of about 1,500 feet (460 m). The land is rolling, with wooded areas in creek bottoms. Most of the vegetation is mixed grass prairie, intermediate between the tall grass prairie further east and the short grass prairie or steppe further west. Mixed grass prairie in Kansas is associated with areas receiving 20 inches (510 mm) to 30 inches (760 mm) annual precipitation. Wildlife and recreation A herd of 150 bison and 75 elk roam the refuge. Up until 2020, there was an observation tower, but it has been removed. Tram rides through the refuge are conducted by the Friends of Maxwell. A road, often obstructed by bison herds, winds through the open range of the refuge. A campground and public use area are located at McPherson State Fishing Lake. A .75 miles (1.21 km) long nature trail is near the southwest corner of the lake. Signs of the presence of beavers and sightings of white-tailed deer are common. References

Bethany College grundades av svenska lutherska invandrare 1881. Drygt 600 studenter studerar vid högskolan. Svensk-lutherska nybyggare arbetade tillsammans med pastor Dr Carl Aaron Swensson, Bethanys grundare, för att etablera Bethany Academy den 15 oktober 1881, i sakristian i Bethany Lutheran Church i Lindsborg, Kansas, med tio studenter. Bethany växte snabbt och utvecklades från Academy till och med 1885, till Bethany Normal Institute 1887, till Bethany College 1889.

Big Basin Prairie Preserve

The Big Basin Prairie Preserve is a 1,818 acres (7.36 km2; 2.84 sq mi) nature preserve owned and managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The preserve is in the Red Hills near Ashland in Clark County, Kansas. The main features are St. Jacob's Well, (37.2403666, -99.9818588) a water-filled sinkhole which lies in the Little Basin, and the Big Basin, a lush mile-wide crater-like depression, also resulting from a sinkhole. The area is stocked with buffalo and is open to the public. The Big Basin is transected by U.S. Route 283 and U.S. Route 160 which run together for a short ways. The portion of the basin west of the highway is privately owned. The property was acquired in 1974 from The Nature Conservancy which made operation as a nature preserve a condition of the sale. In December 1978, the preserve was designated as a National Natural Landmark and was added to the National Registry of Natural Landmarks. Elevations on the preserve range from 2,200 feet (670 m) to 2,360 feet (720 m) above sea level. History The area was one of the locations where the Northern Cheyenne camped and rested during the Northern Cheyenne Exodus in the fall of 1878. The area was not occupied, and perhaps not even generally known, by settlers at that time. The Big Basin was also used as a landmark and watering site for trail drives of cattle northward from Texas to railroads in Kansas. Willard D. Johnson of the United States Geological Survey visited Big Basin at the turn of the 20th century and published the following account in 1901: Within this zone, 19 miles east of Meade, is Big Basin, approximately circular, about a mile in diameter and 100 feet in depth. It has no drainage out, and drainage into it frequently results in shallow ponding at various low areas over the floor. Notching the rim at the southwest is a smaller basin, also without outlet, and separated from the larger one by a low divide. A short distance to the east is still another, called Little Basin, and on the rim of this is a sharply cut sink hole, St. Jacob's Well. Here, again, the water plane of the ground water is revealed. The floor of Little Basin, close to the foot of its encircling bluff, shows a number of shallow depressions, apparently the nearly healed scars of other and earlier sink holes. St. Jacob's Well has every appearance of having been rather recently formed. Research has determined that St Jacob's Well is 84 ft (26 m) wide and 58 ft (18 m) deep. It has never been known to go dry. The effort to preserve the land now known as the Big Basin Prairie Preserve began in 1972 when Mrs. C.G. "Janie" Stein, formed the Big Basin Foundation and contacted and worked closely with numerous agencies, congressional representatives, and individuals over several years. She worked with local landowners and The Nature Conservancy to encourage setting this land aside to protect bison and pronghorn. Her son John Paul Stein wrote a song about his mother's involvement in this project.
