I see that it is state-affiliated, but would not be there were it not for the couple who operate it. It looks like a great place to visit on a summer day.
There is an article on the website devoted to Purple Milkweed, which is threatened in Wisconsin. Is that something you could try to establish in your own nature preserve?

I have it in a few places in my garden. It is slow growing and bunny prone for the first couple years, but it oozes nectar when it blooms!
There is some at Pleasant Valley as well, and I got some good shots of enraptured butterflies
Red spotted purple today. Loves the dog urine in the patio kennel. My neighbor has honey bee condominiums so the honey bees visit also. Great photos again.

Posted by DAB456What kind is this? I think I know, but would like another opinion.
Posted by bigpawbulletsNot sure what these guys are. But suddenly we seem to be getting a few of them in the "Habitat":
Posted by bigpawbulletsSilly meme. But an attractive butterfly. Photoshopped or real?
