The nearest unincorporated community is Spread Eagle, Wisconsin, but the closest large city is Iron Mountain, Michigan; away. The Spread Eagle Barrens is owned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Energy Corporation, and was designated a State Natural Area in 1995.〔 In February 1993, the Natural Resources Board approved the creation of an Spread Eagle Barrens State Natural Area. In August 1995, the Board approved the first purchase of land for the new natural area: acres from Florence County at a cost of $1,400,000. Governor Tommy Thompson authorized the purchase in September 1995. Despite the ''barrens'' name, many plants and animals call Spread Eagle home. The large grasslands and barrens are dominated by scattered jack pine, red pine, scrub oak,〔Scrub oaks may be ''Quercus dumosa'', dwarf Chinkapin oak (''Quercus prinoides''), or simply undernourished black oak (''Quercus velutina''), white oak (''Quercus alba''), northern pin oak (''Quercus ellipsoidalis''), or bur oak (''Quercus macrocarpa''). Less common but possible is bear oak (''Quercus ilicifolia''). 〕 and quaking aspen trees. The open landscape is maintained by timber harvesting and controlled burns. Some of the birds that live in the area are: northern harrier, upland sandpiper, northern raven, winter wren, eastern bluebird, warbling vireo, Nashville, chestnut-sided, pine, and mourning warblers, clay-colored sparrow, common nighthawk, eastern towhee, and Brewer's blackbird. Black bears, fishers, badgers, coyotes, red foxes, and white-tailed deer are some of the animals that roam the area. There are two rivers that run through the barrens: the Pine River and the Menominee River.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Spread Eagle Barrens State Natural Area )〕 ==References and notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spread Eagle Barrens State Natural Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
