Pond, marsh, prairie, woods, wildlife -- all at the northwest corner of campus. This 22-acre site also features old field habitat, a coniferous and deciduous forest. Hike the groomed trails that wind through the Wildlife Area, or strap on cross-country skis for a brisk winter work-out. An elevated observation platform allows visitors to view the activities of muskrat, mink and waterfowl. Through all four seasons, university groups, school groups, and outdoor organizations are invited to increase their understanding and appreciation of nature at the Wildlife Area. Use the link at the left to view maps and pictures of the SMSU wildlife area. |

Located in the southwest corner of the SMSU wildlife area is a 4-acre restored prairie. The prairie restoration project was started during the summer of 1998 with help from a DNR Conservation Partner's Grant to Dr E A Desy (Biology Program) for the purchase of prairie seeds. Every year a new species is "discovered" and added to the inventory list as the prairie continues to develop from the seeds sown in 1998. Use the link at the left to learn more about some of the prairie plants you could encounter in the SMSU wildlife area. |
