Our first property outside of Johnson County is 25.97 acres of 7 separate prairies, a creek which is part of the North Skunk watershed, wetlands, bur oak savanna, and closed savannas. It was donated by James and Kathryn Kessler in 2017, to protect and preserve the reconstruction efforts started by the Kessler family.
