Rice Creek Conservation Area
at
An area within the Nine Mile Tract of the Rice Creek Conservation Area (see map) is undergoing a pine thinning. Tree stand densities are high, and the purpose of the thinning is to remove diseased, defective and suppressed trees to create openings in the canopy, freeing up growing space for the healthiest trees. Please use caution when accessing the property for recreation, including hunting. The contract allows the work to be conducted through March 12, 2027.
