Christina Evans (cgstudios)  > Nature > Kissimmee Prairie Preserve
Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park is truly an amazing and beautiful place, preserving the unique dry prairie ecosystem of Florida.
WHERE ARE THE BIRDS? I have a separate gallery for them now here: http://cgstudios.smugmug.com/gallery/4825033_cEHMd#286251124_ytad2

For some in depth information on the park, its ecology and history, visit the excellent web site of Tim Kozusko at: http://www.kissimmeeprairie.org/

Please join other Florida prairie lovers over on Facebook where we have started working to put together a Citizen's Support Group for the Preserve: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=72340821711

This wooden building is an original Cracker house on a ranch that borders the entrance to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve. The tin roof and the house show hurricane damage.  If you are interested in learning about Florida Crackers, this web page is a good starting point:
