Although Scattergood students come from a variety of states and countries throughout the world, they quickly become familiar with the Midwestern ecosystem through regular contact with the farm and prairie.   Scattergood has over 35-acres of restored prairie which students use for hiking or cross-country skiing during free time as well as using it for a laboratory and studio during classes.  Each spring, students assist staff in the annual Prairie Burn, which helps to maintain grass vitality, control invasive plants and keep down the number of established trees and bushes.

The Prairie also serves as protective habitat for many wild animals. Walking or cross-country skiing on our 35-acre restored prairie during different times of year will provide glimpses of white tailed deer, pheasants, quail, bobcats, skunks, opossums, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, field mice, voles, red-tailed hawks, Canada geese, owls, and other animals. Scattergood maintains paths around and through the prairie.  The prairie is an excellent place to get some exercise and relax, and is an example of one of the many ways the Scattergood landscape is designed to accommodate and encourage biological diversity.
