American Prairie Reserve :Sun Prairie & White Rock Unit Lodging

Located at the heart of the Reserve, the Enrico Education & Science Center is the gateway for education and science work. It offers visitors the ability to participate in an interdisciplinary approach to science and conservation in action. Although it is not a visitor center, the public and guests from nearby Buffalo Camp are welcome to stop in during the day. Overnight use is reserved for scientists, students, collaborators, media, and donors at the Reserve’s discretion. The Center’s philosophy, “Learn through action; teach by sharing,” encourages all types of visitors to share what they discover during their time on the Reserve, inspiring a wider network of people to care about the prairie and our mission.

A typical day begins with breakfast either on your own or with other individuals staying at the Center. People disperse after breakfast to explore the prairie. In the late afternoon, activity picks up again as groups and individuals return from the field. Groups staying at the Center may choose to cook together or separately in the expansive kitchen. The day’s activities are retold and shared over dinner in the community dining space. Conversations continue throughout the evening on the covered porch and throughout common areas.
