THE FOUNDATION ACQUIRED 60 ACRES OF LAND IN AFTON, MN, AND ESTABLISHED A NATURE CENTER FOR CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, PUBLIC RECREATION, AND PROMOTION OF SUSTAINABLE LAND-BASED ENTERPRISES. AS PART OF THEIR EFFORT TO PROMOTE CONSERVATION, THE FOUNDATION IS WORKING TO RESTORE AND MAINTAIN THE LAND AS AN OAK SAVANNA, AN OPEN GRASSLAND STUDDED BY TALL, SPREADING OAK TREES THAT PROVIDE AN ATTRACTIVE ECOSYSTEM FOR MANY ANIMALS.
