Wisconsin protects over 1,700 Lake Superior acres, restores wetlands and habitat

Wisconsin has initiated a major conservation effort along its Lake Superior shoreline, successfully protecting over 1,700 acres of land. The project focuses heavily on the restoration of local wetlands and vital natural habitats.

This initiative is the result of a collaborative partnership between the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Landmark Conservancy. To achieve this protection while respecting private ownership, the project utilized conservation easements, which allow participating landowners to retain ownership of their property.
