NEW SIGN AT THE DEWEY GEVIK OUTDOOR LEARNING AREA!
Special thanks to Mick Zerr and the Sioux Falls Bird Club for the new sign at the Gevik Learning Area, and Pheasantland Industries for doing a speedy, excellent job with the sign!
The Dewey C. Gevik Outdoor Conservation Learning Area has been developed as an interpretive educational experience open to the public. This learning area emphasizes conservation practices, their design, function, and beneficial relationship to the environment. Through the information presented, individuals will reach a greater understanding and appreciation for wildlife, the environment, and the need for conservation of our natural resources for future generations.
Conservation practices established at the learning area are: grassed waterway with rock weir structure, shelter belt plantings, native grass plantings, rock crossing, and a natural wetland. These practices have been built and will be maintained to give the general public a better understanding of the benefits of conservation.
The Gevik Learning Area is 1/2 mile west of Wall Lake, or 1/4 mile north of the intersection of 266th Street and 462nd Avenue, about eight miles west of Sioux Falls.
