Councilman Nagel stated that he had spoken with a few area residents and back in <br />the 1930's there were some Prairie Chickens west of town, but there have been maybe 2 <br />sightings in 20 years. These residents doubted no one would see a Prairie Chicken within <br />the city limits of Pequot Lakes. <br />Councilman Nagel further stated that the Tree Farm Program is important with Potlatch <br />beginning to sell more forest land.
