Glacial Lakes Preserve

The Nature Conservancy

This tract was acquired 12/23/2013 through funding provided by the state of Minnesota’s Outdoor Heritage Fund. The fund was created on November 4, 2008, as part of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota constitution, and is funded by the state sales tax.

The forested sections of this site were originally oak savanna. Since acquisition in 2013, most, if not all, of the basswood-bur oak forest has been cleared of underbrush. Trees other than oak have been cut down and piled for future burning or removal. A fire break has been cleared through wetland along much of the west and north boundary, making these areas much more accessible to visitors.
