Dr. Ben Sikes, Kansas Biological Survey and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, shares his expertise in soil science with Environmental Science classes at Free State High School.  Ben generously paved the way for soil research at Free State Prairie. His inspiration will continue to fuel future research.  Here are lessons Ben shared.

Free State Prairie is open to the public every day between dawn and dusk. The prairie is located on the NW corner of the property behind the football stadium.  Enter through the main athletics entrance and follow the wide sidewalk around behind the stadium.  At the end of the sidewalk, head across the lawn to the northwest toward the shelter and shed.
