Board backs U.S. Fish and Wildlife purchase of 65 acres near Shutler Waterfowl Production Area
Summary
Kingsbury County commissioners voted to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's purchase of roughly 65 acres adjacent to the Shutler Waterfowl Production Area in Section 15, Township 110N, Range 56. The motion passed unanimously on May 5, 2026.
Chairman Kyle Lee presented a request from Bryce Ahlers of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asking the board to support the agency’s purchase of approximately 65 acres adjacent to the west boundary of the Shutler Waterfowl Production Area (SE1/4 of Section 15, Township 110 North, Range 56). The board supported the purchase (motion by Corey Lundquist, second by Steve Spilde) with all five commissioners voting aye.
The minutes state the acreage and legal description but do not record the purchase price, seller name or federal funding source. The action was a support motion rather than a county financial commitment; the board’s support is a local endorsement for the federal agency’s land-acquisition effort.
