The Door County Land Trust announced on Friday afternoon the protection of two parcels of land on Washington Island. One parcel is 62 acres located near Indian Point Natural Area and the other is 10 acres adjoining the Little Lake Nature Preserve. The land near the Indian Point Natural Area will be named after Sigwald Jacobsen and it is expected to help create a wildlife corridor in the northeast portion of Washington Island. The new addition for the Little Lake Nature Preserve will be ideal for migratory and nesting birds, spring ephemeral flowers, birds of prey, and other wildlife. This brings the Door County Land Trust to over 8,800 acres protected on the peninsula, which is equivalent to the combined acreage of Door County’s five state parks.
