The Kansas Wetlands Education Center (KWEC) is a 11,246 square feet facility located 10 miles northeast of the intersection of US 281 and US 56/156 in Great Bend at 592 NE 156 Highway, Great Bend, KS 67530. KWEC is a branch of Sternberg Museum of Natural History and, therefore, a unit of Fort Hays State University (FHSU). Although located on land owned by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP), the Center will be operated by Fort Hays State University personnel. The facility overlooks the 19,857 acre Cheyenne Bottom Wildlife Area managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and the 7,694 acre Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve managed by The Nature Conservancy.
This is one cool place. I think everyone should go and see it. Bring the family and kids!
