Property Story

Mark and Sally Hunner owned and lovingly managed these 40 acres with their children and grandchildren for ​over 32 years.  At the end of 2020, a turbulent year for so many, the Hunners and their family made a choice to donate the property to Glacial Lakes Conservancy in order to continue their legacy of conservation.  In honor of them, we have named this property Hunner Preserve, and this will be a place for visitors to hike, fish, birdwatch, and relax for many years to come. With the Ice Age trail being accessed across the street from Hunner Preserve, this is   a great spot to take a break while hiking through the area. 
Hunner Preserve contains approximately 1450 feet of Tisch Mills Creek, a tributary to the East Twin River.  This section of Tisch Mills Creek is classified as a class II brown trout
waters because of improved flow, habitat and cooler water temperatures. Electroshocking survey done in 2009 found nine species of fish including at least three classes of brook trout including young of year and 2 year classes of rainbow trout including young of year.  Surrounding the creek are native swamp conifer and hardwoods forest with springs flowing into the creek and white pine/red pine/white cedar plantations.  Wondering through the property, you will be able to see some beautiful American Beech, White Oak (200 years old), Red Maple (150 years old), White and Yellow Birch, White Cedar, Giant Hemlock and White Pine.  While visiting, be sure to bring your binoculars to view the various species of woodpeckers, warblers, hawks and owls along with the many other birds, amphibians, and mammals that live, breed, eat, visit here.
