Minnesota Mixed Bag: DNR designates Keystone Woods as new Wildlife Management Area

The Minnesota DNR has designated 1,820 acres of land in Washington County as Minnesota’s newest wildlife management area, named Keystone Woods WMA.
Formerly a cattle ranch, Keystone Woods is one of the largest undeveloped tracts of land remaining in the metro area.
