Wisconsin Saves 1,000 Acres of Forest | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin just saved over a thousand acres of pristine forest north of the state, thanks to a $905,000 conservation easement from the Uihlein family trust—funded by federal and state grants. This land, now called the Border Lakes Legacy Forest, will stay intact, open for hiking, hunting, and skiing, while protecting vital watersheds and supporting Wisconsin’s $billions wood industry. At 90, Michael Uihlein honored his parents’ legacy by ensuring this forest—diverse with trees, wetlands, and trails—never falls to development, preserving it for future generations.
