We are pleased to make over 640 acres of land available for outdoor recreation in the scenic watershed of Baird Creek. Due to rare species and sensitive habitat areas on our nature preserves, we have a policy for allowable, regulated and prohibited activities:
Allowable Uses:
Hiking, walking, trail running
Bird watching
Gathering nuts, fruits, fungus and antler sheds
Nature photography
Hunting, fishing and trapping (is allowed on many of our outside city limit acres. These activities are subject to state law and local ordinances. The foundation has protected many acres of formerly private land for public recreation, including hunting, through the generosity of foundation members, as well as the DNR’s Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, grants from private foundations and private donations. The foundation recognizes that hunting is an important habitat management tool. If you are interested in helping to protect wildlife habitat, please sign up to volunteer or join and support our organization at
