Location: Waupaca County

This conservancy is one of two conservancies provided by the same property owners in Waupaca County. The swamp located here drains to the Lower Wolf River and then flows into the Fox River and north into Green Bay. Since this conservancy has been in the same family when it was homesteaded in 1855, the property owners felt strongly about preserving the land in perpetuity.
Species documented here include:
- turkey
- otter
- white-tailed deer
- mink
- badger
- sandhill crane
- kestrel
- black bear
- barred owl
- ermine - a short tailed weasel that lives in northern biomes such as taigas and tundras
