Tour of Cullen Nature Preserve Oak Savanna Restoration with Staff Ecologist Dan Carter

Join The Prairie Enthusiasts Ecologist Dan Carter for a guided walk through a 10-acre restoration project in Minnetonka. During this tour, participants will explore the site's history and compare the sections undergoing active management with those that remain unrestored. Dan will share his professional analysis regarding the property's potential and the specific stewardship actions required to maintain its ecological progress. As the Cullen Nature Preserve currently remains closed to the general public, this event offers a unique chance to experience the site during its restoration phase.
