Konza Prairie Biological Station is a biological research station located on 3,487 hectares of native tallgrass prairie in the Flint Hills ecoregion in northeastern Kansas. The station is owned by Kansas State University and the Nature Conservancy and is used by the university’s Division of Biology as a field research station. The station’s mission is ecological long-term research, education, and conservation of the rapidly disappearing tallgrass prairie. The station itself is not open to the public, but its nature trails are. They run through lowland forest, cross Kings Creek at several points, and run over old limestone ledges before entering the tallgrass prairie. It is a pleasant hike with several steep climbs that end on higher points with magnificent views of the Kansas River Valley and the Flint Hills.
