History

Porcupine Run was donated to Headwaters in 2022.

Land

The property is located on Lake Nettie Road, just south of County Road 638. The land is hilly and forested; it’s valleys drain towards Lake Nettie. There is a small wetland complex in the southern portion of the property with tag alder and swamp conifers that acts as a filter for spring snowmelt and rain. Preserving this land keeps wildlife habitat intact, and helps maintain the water quality of Lake Nettie and the Ocqueoc River watershed.
