CHAMBERS ISLAND, WI (WTAQ) – Additional acres on a Door County island are being preserved for the fifth time this year.
Nine acres of Chambers Island are being preserved by the Door County Land Trust.
Long-time summer visitors of the island, Pete and Fawn Rodgers, donated the land.
“We are grateful for Pete and Fawn Roger’s generosity and for their vision to help protect this ecological gem. Their love of the land and the island will be honored forever and they leave a lasting legacy for future generations,” says land program director, Julie Schartner.
Looking forward to next year, additional pieces of land on the island have been chosen for further protection, as well as the removal of invasive plants.
Also, the Door County Land Trust is continuing their efforts to reach its $350,000 goal for the completion of the Chambers Island Nature Preserve.
Please contact Development Director Cinnamon Rossman, (920) 746-1359 or crossman@doorcountylandtrust.org, for additional information about donating to the Door County Land Trust.
