Celebrate National Public Lands Day at The Cove Preserve

Crossroads at Big Creek will celebrate National Public Lands Day 2020 with a socially distanced outdoor open house Sept. 26, 10 am – 3 pm, at The Cove Preserve, 817 S. 20th Place in Sturgeon Bay. Observe one of the initial land-restoration projects that will take place at Crossroads during the next three years. 

Cream City Conservation Corps, a Milwaukee-based organization that’s committed to ecological restoration and racial equity, will work with Crossroads staff and interns to plant 166 native trees and shrubs on the “upper terrace” of The Cove Preserve. 

At 11 am, 1 pm and 2 pm, Dan Collins and Nancy Aten of Landscapes of Place will make 20-minute presentations about ecological restoration, and archaeologists from Midwest Archaeological Consultants will also be on hand to discuss their research at The Cove.
