PUBLIC ACCESS TO THIS LAND IS AN EXPLICIT PART OF OUR MISSION STATEMENT. ALL PEOPLE, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, ARE WELCOME TO ENJOY THE PROPERTY AND ITS NATURAL AMENITIES.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC USE OF THESE LANDS.WE ARE BUYING AND PROTECTING PRAIRIE HABITAT FOR THE PUBLIC'S ENJOYMENT IN ONE OF ONLY FOUR SPACES LEFT ON EARTH WHERE CONSERVATION OF GRASSLANDS ON A LANDSCAPE SCALE IS EVEN POSSIBLE. OUR GOAL IS TO LEAVE A LEGACY IN THE FORM OF A FULLY-FUNCTIONING GRASSLAND ECOSYSTEM FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ENJOY. | FactsAndCircumstancesTest |
