Litchfield, on the eastern edge of the prairie pothole region in central Minnesota, offers outstanding marsh, prairie, transition and woodland habitat.
District land preserves more than 146 waterfowl nesting areas scattered over seven counties.
Numerous listed endangered, threatened or rare species, including the bald eagle, trumpeter swan, Cerulean warbler and Henslow's sparrow, are found here.
Ring-necked pheasant, white-tailed deer and waterfowl including mallards, blue-wing teal and Canada geese are also seen.
Visitors enjoy hunting, trapping and nature observation and photography. Some search out patches of unbroken native prairie for glimpses of warblers, pasque flowers, blue-eyed grass and native orchids.
The primary goal of the district is to improve wetland and prairie habitat on public and private lands. Funds come from the sale of federal duck stamps.
