This project has been undertaken by the O’Brien County Conservation Board and the Crosbie family in memory of Calvin and Ted Crosbie and other Crosbie family members who came from a loving family that enjoyed spending time outdoors. Here you will find deer, wild turkey, pheasant, waterfowl and other small game. No trapping is allowed without specific permission.
