Door County Land Trust is looking to create a new nature preserve in the southern part of the county.
The group is launching a $25,000 matching challenge to double the amount of donations made as part of a $750,000 private fundraising campaign for the newly proposed 338-acre nature preserve.
The project would protect an important watershed and wildlife habitat that encompasses the waters of Kayes Creek and Twin Harbor Creek.
Both flow into Little Sturgeon Bay and serve as a “vital link to the health of the entire Green Bay watershed. If successful, the Little Sturgeon Bay property would become the organization’s 16th public preserve to host infrastructure for trails and recreation in Door County.”
Land Trust Executive Director Emily Wood says it’s rare that a chance to “protect this much land with such great potential benefit for both wildlife and people.”
The organization has multiple grant applications with current grant requests totaling more than $2.5 million.
Donations are tax-deductible and can be made at doorcountylandtrust.org/littlesturgeon.
