A celebration of the lands we love!
Property tour host, Dave talking about his prairie restoration.
Dave Jacobson hosted a prairie tour at his 160-acre Century Farm north of Sauk Centre for our 2018 Treasured Places event. Prior to the tour, a short program and presentation was held in Alexandria. Every year a new location around the state is selected for the event. Check back in late summer to find out where our 2019 event will be held. See more photos from this special day towards the bottom of the page.
A Treasured Places Tradition…
Volunteers, landowners, and partners are key to conservation success, so much so, that every year at Treasured Places, we honor a select person of the year for each of these titles. Below are photos of our 2018 honorees. (View a list of previous winners.)
