Masiak Farm is located in the Sevenmile and Silver Creeks watershed of the Lake Michigan Basin.  The property has approximately 21 acres in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and a CREP Equivalent program; of the CREP acreage, 8.9 acres are planted in native prairie and about 49 acres of the property are currently working cropland with rotational corn and soybeans.  The CREP and CREP Equivalent acreage surrounds a narrow stream that runs through the fields and into a hardwoods forest where it eventually feeds into Pine Creek, which is currently listed as impaired by the WDNR. 

Masiak Farm provides rich and diverse habitat communities.  Large and small mammals, birds, insects, and amphibians use the area.
