In 2006, the 137 acre Malan Waterfowl Production Area was acquired. In 2008, farm fields on the property were planted to a mixture of native grasses and wildflowers, and the wetland basins were restored. The area contains 74 acres of grassland, 36 acres of wetlands, 27 acres of upland forest and other habitat. The mixture of wetlands and grasslands provides high quality nesting and brood rearing habitat for ducks such as mallards and blue-winged teal, geese, a variety of grassland songbirds and pollinator habitat for the monarch and other native bee species.
