MG21 became a steward of Swamplovers Preserve, part of the Ice Age Trail Alliance, in 2021. Swamplovers is a biodiversity hotspot situated at the edge of the Driftless region and within the Black Earth Creek watershed. It boasts high-quality habitat areas: open-water waterfowl breeding ponds, faithfully restored prairie, southern sedge meadow, oak savanna, and woodland communities. Students visit Swamplovers on a regular basis engaging in restoration management: clearing paths, removing invasive species and collecting seeds to plant and enhance lands in other natural areas for pollinators, wildlife, and land restoration.
