Location: Waushara County
Area protected: 56 acres
Protection strategy: conservation easement
Across the river from the 80 acre Pine River I Conservancy, Pine River II adds 1,788 feet of protected shoreline along this class 2 trout stream. The two Pine River conservancies preserve a total of 136 acres of contiguous environmentally sensitive habitat sheltering three state threatened bird species: red-shouldered hawk, cerulean warbler, and acadian flycatcher.
Sharing the same heavily forested habitat as Pine River I, black oak, red oak, white oak, bur oak, black cherry, and shagbark hickory are here. Unique to this conservancy is the large number very large glacial erratics scattered throughout the rolling property.
At this point along its course, the Pine River is an example of the special nature of "Sand County Trout Streams"; deep pools and good flow provide habitat for aquatic life. The river flows through this property and eventually outlets into Lake Poygan. The entire Pine River Watershed drains into the Winnebago Pool Lakes and eventually into Green Bay.
