In WI, some wooded dune areas are more equal than others

I noted the other day the contradiction in Wisconsin where the Department of Natural Resources was simultaneously urging people to plant a tree for Arbor Day while also green-lighting the destruction a pristine wooded wetland to facilitate a sand mine and also studying the destruction of more than half the acreage in a 247-acre wooded nature preserve where Kohler interests want to build yet another high-end golf course.

And speaking of that golf course site includes rare dunes along the sandy Lake Michigan shoreline south of Sheboygan, I couldn't help but notice another wooded dune near Lake Michigan to the north is featured in this Journal Sentinel piece.

Woodland Dunes is a nature lover’s sanctuary

I guess some woodlands and dunes and nature lovers' sanctuaries are more equal than others, like the potential golf course site, below:

Or are more Walker donor-friendly and thus politically at-risk. 

Comments to federal regulatory officials are due May 6, by the way.

More on that, and the developer's efforts to tilt the permitting process, here.
