Location: Waushara County

Area protected: 21.3 acres

Protection strategy: conservation easement

Dohrs' Knoll is one of two conservancies granted by the same landowners in northern Waushara County. 

Dohrs' Knoll offers a striking vista of Waushara County northward to Waupaca County; it is striking that this forested block contains remnants of the same forest that surveyors described in 1851. Trees found on the conservancy include red pine, white pine, jack pine, aspen, white spruce, Norway spruce, red oak and black oak, including some very large in diameter.  An open area contains staghorn sumac, grape vines, and oak seedlings.

With its fully intact vegetative cover, the entire parcel contributes to the stabilization if the sandy soils and allows for a controlled recharge of the local acquifer.
