Conservation Farm

We are sad to say that our storage building at the Conservation Farm located East of Leonard has been broken into and vandalized with property damaged. Our Conservation Farm has always been free to the public to use for hunting, environmental study, hiking, etc. and we would love to keep it that way! Due to this recent vandalism we will be increasing security. Please be aware that there are cameras on the property and buildings are locked for a reason. We ask that you respect the land, buildings and rules at the Conservation Farm. If you see anything suspicious, please give our office a call. 5/20/24
