Land purchase saves a slice of state's past
Pilot Knob now has 25 acres of land preserved as a permanent natural resource. Eighteen acres of Pilot Knob, a cherished tract of Minnesota history that was under threat of townhouse development just a few years ago, will be preserved as open space in a deal completed Thursday. The nonprofit Trust for Public Land conveyed the land to the city of Mendota Heights, which will manage that tract and 8 1/2 acres purchased two years ago. The land will be returned to its natural state with prairie grass and oak trees for use as a passive-use park, said Bob McGillivray, the TPL's senior project manager.
