Description
This 2,900 acre landscape, a gift from the Buddy Smith family, rests in south-central Oklahoma and holds bottomland oakforests, savannas, mixed-grass and tallgrass prairies, springs and cool running streams.
Pontotoc Ridge Preserve is a premier Arbuckle Plains property located on top of the Arbuckle-Simpson Aquifer, providing critical recharge for the water source. This untilled landscape has proven to be a regional hot spot of butterfly diversity, boasting over 90 species documented at the preserve to date.
Whether it's cactus, bluestem or collared lizards, Pontotoc Ridge Preserve is an excellent example of Oklahoma's ruggedly beautiful lands.
