 The advocacy group Pheasants Forever and Stearns County have teamed up to preserve about 250 acres along the Sauk River chain of lakes. Sabin Adams is state coordinator with Pheasants Forever. He says the undeveloped property is unique because it's close to the city of Cold Spring. It was likely slated for development at some point in the future, and now we can ensure that it will be maintained as wildlife habitat and as a recreation spot.
