Ann Cullen Smith placed her 32-acre Minnetonka property into a permanent conservation easement through the Minnesota Land Trust in 2004. She sold her property for about half its value to the City of Minnetonka so the City could operate it as a nature preserve. After her passing in 2015, at the age 106, Ann's property was transferred to the City.
The Friends of Cullen Nature Preserve have done extensive work in keeping with Ann's vision for the property so that it can provide important woodland, savanna, and wetland habitat for wildlife, public education, nature observation, study, and quiet reflection.
