About VanDyke Conservation Area
From Princeton, take US-136 east 9 miles, then take Route DD south 2.5 miles, then take Foothill Street east 1.5 miles to the area. This area is half timber and half open fields.

This area was obtained by the Conservation Department in 1999 from Mr. Ronald VanDyke and named after his relatives. It consists of approximately half hardwood timber in various age and size classes and half old fields and native grasses.

A portion of Medicine Creek runs for four-tenths mile along the western boundary of the area.

The area is managed with a combination of prescribed fire, haying, and food plots. From VanDyke Conservation Area web site
