IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Land Restoration Monitoring MNP follows a 150-year land restoration plan to return 510 acres of predominantly agricultural land to its pre-settlement condition as a mesic beech-maple-oak forest. The past 20 years, staff have been working hard to return the land back to its historic condition. We are happy to say that based off our 150-year Master Plan, we are 25 years ahead of schedule in our land restoration efforts. Through a MMSD Wetland Restoration and Reforestation Program, MNP staff planted native short grass prairie and wetland seed as the first step in revegetation for the 52-acre program. Volunteers and staff planted over 43,000 trees that will establish over the next three years.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Land Building MNP is responsible for the repairs, maintenance and utilities at all the facilities on the 510 acres. MNP receives rental income from agricultural land, a farmhouse, barns and storage buildings on the preserve. In addition, PieperPower Education Center is rented to corporations and agencies when not being used for educational programming.
