The Youngmeyer Ranch includes nearly 4,700 acres of the Flint Hills, the last remaining tallgrass prairie in the U.S. The property is an active cattle ranch and a field research site for Wichita State University, used by multiple departments for study of plants, animals, soils, and waterways. The Youngmeyer Field Station provides 3,400 SF of meeting space, laboratory, and living quarters for six researchers. The facility is completely off-grid, with no connection to public or rural utilities. Primary power is generated and water is collected right on site.
