*This event has been rescheduled again for Tuesday, July 23, from 4:00-6:00 pm!
Join Clean River Partners, the Trust for Public Land, Great River Greening, and our conservation partners to recognize Judith Altobell and her family for their land ethic and habitat contributions.
Former landowner Judith Altobell will share her family’s story of why and how they pursued the natural legacy they envisioned for their property in Rice County.
Wildlife management areas (WMAs) are part of Minnesota's outdoor recreation system. They are established to protect those lands and waters with a high potential for wildlife production, public hunting, trapping, fishing, and other compatible recreational uses.
Since 2010, TPL has protected 3,110 acres in the Cannon River Watershed with the help of landowners and outreach assistance from Clean River Partners. During this time, Great River Greening and the Minnesota DNR have restored and enhanced 498 acres of habitat in the watershed, and 452 acres of restoration are underway.
Directly south of the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail, this addition to Sakatah WMA will also protect wildlife and improve the water quality of the nearby Cannon River.
