Plymouth County Conservation manages over 2,700 acres of recreational and natural lands (17 individual areas) including native and restored prairies, upland forests and river bottom woodlands. Natural areas for picnicking, camping, fishing, hunting, winter sports, bird watching, hiking, biking and equestrian trails are provided in parks throughout the county. Other areas are preserves, as close to their natural state as possible, for many generations to enjoy forever.
