WSO Lands

 

Prairie Chicken Habitat

In 1957, WSO purchased 60 acres of Prairie Chicken habitat in the Buena Vista Prairie Chicken Management area in Portage county. The land is now leased under Wisconsin DNR management.

 

Honey Creek Natural Area

In 1958, WSO started acquiring bog and woodland habitat in the Baraboo Hills area of Sauk county. This preserve, the Honey Creek Natural Area, has since grown to 263 acres and boasts trails, picnic areas, rustic camping facilities, and the Cox Nature Center for local geology and habitat exhibits.

The Honey Creek Natural Area can be reached by going west out of Prairie du Sac on Highway PF approximately 15 miles to Skyview Drive (Lins Road on older maps). Go left about 3/4 mile to Alder Drive and turn left to the Cox Nature Center.
