Please join us in thanking Bill and Andrea Iwen of Algoma for donating a 43-acre conservation easement in the Town of West Kewaunee to Glacial Lakes Conservancy during the last week of 2010. This is GLC’s first easement in Kewaunee County!
The Iwen’s private land within, and next to, the C.D. (Buzz) Basadny Fish and Wildlife Area is situated along the Kewaunee River environmental corridor of the southern Door Peninsula and contains riverbank, hardwood floodplain forest, grasslands, wetlands, upland woods, open fields and scenic vistas. Maintaining a vegetative buffer along the river is important for protecting habitat for small mammals, upland game, native populations of fish, and the seasonal migration of trout and salmon and migratory birds and raptors along the Lake Michigan Flyway corridor. The Kewaunee River and Grasslands is one of Wisconsin’s Land Legacy Places of conservation significance. Read our newsletter, Landscapes Winter 2011 issue, which features this project.
