About Tracht Farm
Tracht (pronounced “traw”) Conservation Farm was donated to Pathfinders Resource Conservation and Development in 1991 by Clarence and Ruth Tracht of Fairfield. The 130-acre farm serves as a demonstration area for habitat development, woodland management and wildlife enhancement. The farm has tree plantings with over 60 different tree species to benefit wildlife. The area also has wildlife food plots and four ponds. Three of these ponds have fish. Cabin RentalNamed for Pathfinders' first coordinator, the Dale Kraus Cabin makes the perfect setting for a family outing, retreat, or business meeting.
