Swenson Forest Preserve

Swenson Forest Preserve A new public preserve is in the works. You can help preserve Siskiwit Falls & Estuary!

In the spring of 2015, following the passing of Dorothy and Dennis Swenson, Brent and Cheri (Swenson) Surowiec contacted the Bayfield Regional Conservancy about protecting their family's 95 acre property in some way while allowing for public access. In the summer of 2016, adjacent downstream landowners, Larry and Marcy Dorau, also contacted BRC about protecting their 5 acres as part of the larger

project. Over the past year, the Conservancy has been working closely with the landowners and the Town of Bell to explore future ownership, management, and land protection options. The Conservancy and the Town of Bell are now pursuing competitive grants through Wisconsin's Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program and NOAA's Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program to acquire and protect the property collectively and hopefully by the end of 2017.
