Two brothers, Will and Harry Dahl, tragically died in a UTV accident near their home in New London, Minnesota. To honor their sons' love of the outdoors, the Dahl family is raising funds to build a new sportsman's club called Wild Haven, which will include a trap shooting range, archery, and other activities for local youth and families.
Why it matters
The Dahl family's efforts to create Wild Haven highlight the importance of providing safe and accessible outdoor recreation opportunities, especially for young people, in rural communities. The club will serve as a lasting tribute to Will and Harry, who were passionate about hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits.
The details
Will, 15, and Harry, 11, were killed when their UTV collided with a pickup truck near their home. After the accident, the Dahls decided to build a sportsman's club in their sons' honor, to give other kids in the area a chance to develop a love for the outdoors like Will and Harry had. The clubhouse will be home to the local trap shooting team the boys were part of, and will eventually include archery and be open to families.
- Two winters ago, the Dahls were checking deer stands near their property when the accident occurred.
- Will died at the scene, and Harry lived a few more days before passing away from his injuries.
- The Dahls are holding a fundraiser called the Wild Haven Throwdown on May 9, 2026 at Smilin' D Arena in Belgrade to raise money for the new sportsman's club.
