Empire Sauk Sites

Below is a list of the sites our chapter works on. Five of the sites managed by E-S are designated State Natural Areas (SNA): Black Earth Rettenmund Prairie, Pleasant Valley Conservancy, Smith-Reiner Drumlin Prairie, Schluckebier Sand Prairie, and Parrish Oak Savanna.

Nearly all of these sites are open to the public. Our preserves are established for the preservation and conservation of nature, especially critical habitat for rare and declining species and ecosystems.  Therefore, only certain limited activities are allowed.  These may vary from site to site depend upon the funding sources and management objectives.  If an activity is not explicitly allowed, it is prohibited.  Please check specific site webpages for site details.
