Controversy Erupts Over Dog Training at Keystone Woods

The Minnesota Federation of Field Trial Clubs has secured a lease to use the Keystone Woods Wildlife Management Area for dog field training, raising concerns among conservation advocates. The lease, which permits the use of off-leash dogs and non-toxic ammunition during a time that coincides with bird nesting season, has drawn criticism from users who question why public land is being partially allocated for this purpose, especially with $27 million in public funds invested in the area.

Over 1,800 acres comprise the Keystone Woods Wildlife Management Area, which is home to sensitive species such as the endangered rusty-patched bumblebee and Blanding’s turtle. While supporters argue that the presence of trained hunting dogs promotes wildlife engagement, opponents emphasize that allowing dog training and hunting activities may disrupt nesting birds and wildlife enjoyment for other users. Numerous wildlife advocates have called for a moratorium on developments until ecological assessments are completed.
