Baker University Wetlands Vascular Plants Species List The Baker University Wetlands Research and Natural Area is a 927-acre area 11 miles northwest of Baldwin and on the south side of Lawrence in the Wakarusa River floodplain. The area contains 45 acres of native wetland prairie. It also includes many acres of restored meadows, marshes, open water, shrubby and secondary growth and mature riparian woodlands. The original 573 acres were acquired by Baker University from the federal government in 1968. KDOT received 56 acres for easement for the SLT but added 410 acres as part of the mitigation. The entire property is used for education and research on a variety of ecological phenomena and for preservation of the native wetland prairie. The area was identified as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service in 1969 and a Natural and Scientific Area by the state of Kansas in 1987.
