Many degraded oak savannahs still exist in the Midwest and BACT is restoring one site that spent many years as a farm field. Far Field Nature Preserve was generously donated to BACT in 2014 by Stephen and Mary Smith. These 12-acres are now well into a long-term stewardship plan to restore the oak savannah, as well as the adjoining mixed hardwood woodlands.
