Since 2006, Glacial Lakes Conservancy has been working to create a 25-acre nature preserve from a glacial remnant in the Town of Rhine, called Grasshopper Hill Preserve. The family members of Fischer Farm have longed to protect the Hill from subdivision and development so years ago, the dialog with Glacial Lakes began. Now, with most of the initial fundraising and willing sellers ready to go, the Grasshopper Hill Preserve looks close to becoming a reality!
