Morrison Prairie & Forest Preserve
Darrel Morrison sold this beautiful property to Driftless Area Land Conservancy in a bargain sale in 2019. Morrison is a distinguished landscape architect known for designing prairie-inspired gardens using native plants, and is a former professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Georgia, and Columbia University. One of his biggest projects is a partnership on a large ranch in Montana. Darrel's generosity will allow us to steward and share this gorgeous gem for many generations to come.
Property Features
This scenic bluff property includes dry remnant prairie, oak woodlands and savanna, and mesic north facing woodlands. These diverse native communities provide habitats for a number of rare or state-threatened species. From the top of the bluff, visitors can see a broad swath of the Lower Wisconsin River Valley to the north, as well as expansive views of the wooded hills and valleys to the south.
