A few years back, Lake Erie Islands Conservancy treasurer Kelly Faris wrote three articles dealing with island conservation issues in response to questions. The first gives a good background on the original Coopers Woods preservation efforts. The others explain the island conservation organizations we have now-the Lake Erie Islands Conservancy, the Put-in-Bay Township Park District, and the Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center as well as the value to the community of the nature preserves.They are as timely now as ever and are attached here for your reading pleasure.
An updated list of the projects to date for these organizations is included-we have come a long way since 2000!
