Nelson Site – West End of Long Prairie Trail
The Nelson site is slightly more than an acre in size, and is located at the west end of the Long Prairie Trail that is owned and managed by the Boone County Conservation District. The Parks and Conservation Foundation accepted this gift of land from Bruce and Linda Nelson in December of 2014.
The site has no improvements today, but might function as a small trailhead to the Long Prairie Trail offering a small parking area and informational kiosk. By accepting this gift of land, the Parks & Conservation Foundation has acquired a strategically located parcel and the value of that gift can be utilized as a financial match in a future grant to develop improvements or preserve other important conservation or recreational lands in Boone County.
