Door County Habitat Preservation
Status: Ongoing Location: Door County, Wisconsin Description: The Fish and Wildlife Service is coordinating with The Nature Conservancy's (TNC) Door Peninsula Project staff to acquire and protect significant habitats in Door County, Wisconsin. Currently there are 3 parcels (169 acres total) for sale from willing landowners in TNC's Mink River, Bay Shore Bluff Lands, and North Bay Project Areas. These project areas are also designated as Wisconsin State Natural Areas. Benefits: The lands subject to acquisition will protect headwater streams and wetlands on the bay side as well as the lake side of Door County. These lands are threatened by logging and development. These areas provide habitat for the Hine's emerald dragonfly (federally listed endangered species), shorebirds, bald eagles (federally listed threatened species), waterfowl, and game and commercial fish.
