Vision of the Howard K. Vincent Waterfowl Production Area comes into focus at official dedication
September 14 highlighted teamwork across borders between conservationists in both Minnesota and Iowa with the formal dedication of the Howard K. Vincent Waterfowl Production Area Site — a 195.5-acre parcel of farmland now set to become both a wildlife area and an important buffer to help protect Big Spirit Lake waters.
Held onsite for the open-to-the-public dedication and program, followed by a reception at Mini-Wakan Lodge on the north shore of Big Spirit Lake, the dedication included well over 100 people. It included individuals and organizations involved in securing the property that had been so important to stakeholders in both states for decades.
