A New Era: Prairie Oaks Institute Passes the Torch to Monarch Joint Venture
Change is the heartbeat of progress, and today, we at the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) stand at the threshold of a remarkable transformation. With gratitude and anticipation, we are excited to announce the acquisition of a beautiful and cherished farm and nature campus in Belle Plaine, Minnesota. This 20-acre property was gifted to us by the Prairie Oaks Institute at Robert Creek and has a long line of conservation stewards and caretakers. We are honored to continue this legacy of land stewardship and embrace this location as an embodiment of our conservation mission. Read More
