About Our Region

Please join us in taking the Emporia Pledge to care for this special part of Kansas.

Unlike towering mountains, the Flint Hills do not startle the senses with Nature's grandeur. Rather, they inspire a contemplative awe of Nature's quiet goodness, not its harsh spectacle. Their tabled tops and terraced slopes impart to the viewer a restful calm, a serenity that not everyone can appreciate. But those who have eyes to see, experience an almost visceral joy in the quiet majesty of the Flint Hills.
