The Ozark Research Field Station is a living laboratory dedicated to education, research, and environmental discovery. Nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and conveniently located minutes off of Route 66, the station is home to diverse habitats including fens, wetlands, and upland oak-hickory forests. The station offers researchers, organizations, students and faculty a unique opportunity to study the Ozark ecosystem firsthand. The Ozark Research Field Station brings learning beyond the classroom through unique, place-based courses taught by Missouri S&T faculty from a range of academic disciplines. These immersive experiences connect students and educators with the natural world while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The ORFS also serves as a hub for community engagement, offering programs and partnerships that inspire environmental awareness and hands-on learning.
