Updates on big $$ golf course aimed at WI nature preserve

[Updated] This blog has been following since 2014 the political and environmental issues surrounding the proposed loss of a 247-acre nature preserve (additional photos) - - 

that includes rare wetlands...so a Walker donor can build another high-end golf course.

The proposed location is very close to the Lake Michigan shoreline (within the woods below)

and includes at least one Native American effigy/burial mound just south of Sheboygan that is adjacent to and would take several acres from the popular Kohler Andrae Wisconsin State Park.

I want to point you to four five relevant items:

*  A fresh release from the grassroots opponents' organization Friends of the Black River Forest:

Town May Get Stuck with Kohler's Bill to Insure Its Safety 

* A new Change.org petition by the opponents.

*  Information about some of the wetlands - - some rare - - that are on the site.

*  Information provided to the state by the company's environmental review which raised additional questions from the Wisconsin DNR as it continues to write an official state Environmental Impact Statement.

*  A bigger-context view: 

Walker's push to privatize Wisconsin land, water and air
