Longspur currently manages two prairie restoration projects. Three more sites in the Red River Valley and surrounding counties are currently under negotiation.
Longspur's Site 1 is near Ulen, MN and consists of 160 acres. The site is privately owned. The site's 160 acres join another 1200 acres -- including the Ulen SWMA and over 600 acres of USFWS protected land -- to create a unified habitat of 1,300+ acres. Site 1 was fully restored in 2009-2011, has been enrolled in the Minnesota Walk-In Access Program, and is now open to public hunting. Access to the site for other uses is free to all responsible naturalists, artists, students, and adventurers. Please contact LPF directly for an appointment. Enjoy!
Longspur's Site 2 is near Mahnomen, MN and consists of 306 acres. The site is owned by the Impact Foundation. The site's 306 acres join the Wambach SWMA, the Santee Prairie SNA, and the Rush Lake SWMA to create a unified habitat of 4,000+ acres. Restoration on Site 2 began in the Fall of 2014. Seeding and final restoration work was finished in the summer of 2015. In the summer of 2016, Site 2 was enrolled in the Minnesota Walk-In Access Program, and is now open to public hunting. Access to the site for other uses is free to all responsible naturalists, artists, students, and adventurers. Please contact LPF directly for an appointment. Enjoy!
