School Forest

Since 1947, SDRF has owned this approximately 70-acre parcel of pristine forest land along the Kinnickinnic River. This property represents a diverse outdoor educational classroom, consisting of oak and central hardwood forests, floodplain, and a former agriculture field undergoing native prairie restoration.

After being landlocked for many years, the land became accessible in 2021 through a partnership with the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust. The School Forest will have a long-lasting impact, connecting students with nature through meaningful educational opportunities, serving as a community asset for many generations.
