Field Day Fridays: Becker West Wildlife Area

Clayton County Conservation will host a field day to explore the ongoing habitat projects at the West Becker Wildlife Area. Donated to Clayton County Conservation in 2012, this property features a prairie reconstruction, conservation hay field, and a savanna restoration underway in the adjacent timber.

The walk will focus on the long-term objectives and strategies for improving biodiversity and ecological function of the rich woodlands, grasslands, and riparian corridor. This primitive wildlife area has no bathrooms or water on site, so plan accordingly! Participants should come prepared for roughly two-mile hike.

Please register for the event here on the website or by calling 563-245-1516. The West Becker property is located approximately one mile west of Millville on Millville Road. Parking area is signed. For more information, call 245-1516.
