“Without love of the land, conservation lacks meaning and purpose, for only in a deep and inherent feeling for the land can there be dedication in preserving it”. Sigurd F. Olsen
In keeping with our original mission, Prairiewood contains nearly 300 acres of native tallgrass prairie ecology. From the majestic riparian forests lining Wildcat Creek to the wind swept grassy tops of the Flint Hills, the landscape here is unique in both its diversity and its scope. The Flint Hills region of Kansas is the largest remaining contiguous stand of what was once a vast and ancient prairie stretching from Texas to Canada. And nowhere are the Flint Hills more beautiful than right here in our own backyard. It is a very special place; one well worth preserving.
Accordingly, we have formed the non-profit organization Friends of Prairiewood. Specifically dedicated to furthering the cause of preservation of the tallgrass prairie, Friends of Prairiewood provides unique educational and hospitality opportunities. Please inquire as those, or to our volunteer and donation opportunities, if you would like to help us further our mission.
