The many natural habitats found on-site include tall grass prairie, oak savannah and woodlands, aspen and birch forests, seasonal and permanent ponds and springs, and a backwater lake, adjacent to the Mississippi River. These lands have been set aside by the College for biological and environmental education, for restoration activities, and for the protection of native plant communities, wildlife habitat and natural environments.
Guests are welcome to the area, but please call in advance to make arrangements for a visit.
