“Legacy planning should include something that is bigger than yourself, that is enduring. That’s why we have chosen Landmark Conservancy, a robust organization with a strong future that is well-poised to continue to conserve Wisconsin’s natural legacy, forever.”
“I dreamed of a wilderness property to protect and retreat to since I was in college. Finding a place this magical was literally a dream come true, but I knew my stewardship of it represented only a blink of an eye. Donating it to the Conservancy was part of my plan from the beginning, a decision that puts the land in trusted hands far beyond my lifetime.”
