Hunters, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts will finally be able to reach a previously landlocked wildfowl production area behind the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center in Fergus Falls.
The Otter Tail County Commission on Tuesday, May 11, approved the sale of 42.65 acres to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The parcel will connect the learning center with the 338-acre Tungseth Waterfowl Production Area, providing access to the public.
