2nd Annual Sunday Drive Event!
October 14th, 2018 |
Fall Land Walk!
September 15th, 2018 |
Over two dozen people attended our 2nd annual Sunday Drive Event which was recently held on a brisk, but sunny fall day. Attendees enjoyed a scenic drive between four property destinations in Maniotowoc and Sheboygan counties: Drohman Manitou Maples, Point Creek Natural Area, Northup Bella Terra, and Willow Creek Preserve. At each stopping point a landowner or volunteer was present to explain the property features and offer an opportunity to explore the conserved land. The final destination was at Taylor Park to enjoy a picnic of locally made sandwiches, beverage choices of all kinds, homemade desserts, and friendly conversation. Thank you to the landowners who opened their property to the public for this event and lead a group, shared their personal land stories, and answered questions. Also, big thanks to everyone who participated or helped to organize the event! It was a tremendous success and we look forward to holding this event next year!

on September 15th, about 25 outdoor enthusiasts of all ages attended this land walk in Sheboygan County.
Two generations of passionate land stewards have spent their years restoring this sandy stretch of land, which operated as a sand and gravel pit until 1963, to include a variety of trees and vegetation to support native wildlife habitats. The current landowner shared his knowledge of how removing invasive species and replacing them with native and diverse species has helped to restore the ecosystem health of this property. This was a unique opportunity for the public to explore this conserved land that is privately owned. Join us on the next seasonal Land Walk! 
This event was co-hosted by Gathering Waters - Land Trust Days, a collaborative effort to promote conservation efforts by highlighting land trust events in Wisconsin in the months of August and September. Click the icon on the left to learn more about the campaign and #havefunoutside!
