Contrast public land conservation in WI with bulldozing for profit
Just a half-hour's drive in Wisconsin between bordering Washington and Sheboygan Counties separates saving woods and wetlands for the public from bulldozing another nature preserve for private gain.
Take a look at the work for the public by the Ozaukee-Washington Land Trust in the 73-acre Kratzsch Conservancy near West Bend

And look at what Kohler corporate interests, the Walker-controlled Department of Administration and Department of Natural Resources he has shamefully-weakened as part of his long war against the environment for partisan advantage are coordinating for politically-linked private gain.
On a 247-acre nature preserve and some state park land along Lake Michigan south of Sheboygan:

The property contains 14 acres of wetlands, 24 acres of forests and 37 acres of grasslands. [Land Stewardship manager Ryan] Wallin explained that the trails are being managed in a way that tries to balance the needs of wildlife with the expectations of human visitors. For example, trails are designed to circumscribe open areas because cutting a trail through the middle of a prairie would degrade it as a habitat for certain species, particularly ground-nesting birds.
Then drive to the northeast for about a half hour.
