LPF Site 1 - Ulen Microprairie

Longspur's Site 1, the Ulen Prairie, is near Ulen, MN. It 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 over 1,300 acres. Site 1 has been fully restored and was enrolled in the Minnesota Walk-In Access Program in the Fall of 2014 (CLAY WIA #84 PDF). It is now open to the public.

 

 

 

Longspur's Site 1 - Ulen is part of the Minnesota Prairie Restoration Plan, occupying a central position as a connecting parcel in the Felton Prairie Coordinated Landscape Management Area (CLMA).

The Longspur Prairie Fund is dedicated to fostering the experiences, insights, and pleasures found in the native landscapes of the Red River Valley by way of advocacy, education, and conservation.

We respect farmers, hunters, business owners, their properties, and their communities. We protect native plants, animals, habitats, and their ecologies. We teach the wisdom of the prairie through the arts and sciences. ​

We restore native landscapes and preserve them for all time.
