IN 2019, THE NE WI LAND TRUST ACHIEVED THESE MILESTONES: 1) CREATED WEQUIOCK CREEK PRESERVE THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF 4 PROPERTIES, INCREASING THE PROTECTED LAND AT POINT AU SABLE NATURAL AREA BY 40%. THIS PROJECT PROTECTS AN AREA STEEPED IN NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY AND FIRST CONTACT WITH EUROPEANS, AS WELL AS NEARLY ONE MILE OF A SENSITIVE STREAM. 2) ENGAGED 1,500 PEOPLE ACROSS ALL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING EXPERT GUIDED TALKS ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE FOX RIVER VALLEY, ECOLOGY OF A TROUT STREAM, AND HISTORY OF INDIAN MOUNDS. 3) PRESENTED EXTERNALLY-RECOGNIZED GOOD-PRACTICE IN COMMUNITY CONSERVATION AT THE INTERNATIONAL GREAT LAKES CONFERENCE. 4) MONITORED ALL 42 CONSERVANCIES.

A PRIVATE FOUNDATION WANTED TO DONATE 100,000 TO A LOCAL GOVERNMENT SO THAT GOVERNMENT COULD ACQUIRE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE WEQUIOCK CREEK PRESERVE BUT DID NOT WANT TO DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE GOVERNMENT. WE ACCEPTED THE MONEY, THEN DONATED IT TO THE TOWN OF SCOTT.
