Kettle Moraine Land Trust Accreditation The land trust accreditation request has been accepted, so members of the Board are busy assembling the Application and the Projects selected for review materials for delivery before November 17, 2011. The Island Woods Preserve and the Jackson Creek Preserve were both selected. A key element of this review is the level of Stewardship Reserve funding, required to support these properties in perpetuity. The LLIA Directors have supported major contributions to build this reserve over time. Without this community support, our land trust accreditation request would not have been possible. Thank you LLIA members for making this watershed protection possible!
