| Form 990 | 5 | Through conservation easements, acquisitions and partnerships OWLT helped protect 228 acres during fiscal year 2011 bringing total acres protected to 5,055. In addition, OWLT completed the transfer of the 438 acre Mequon Nature Preserve Property to the City of Mequon. OWLT retained an easement on the Mequon Nature Preserve and worked with the City of Mequon to establish a separate tax exempt charitable organization to operate the Preserve. In the fall of 2000 OWLT began a partnership with the City of Mequon to protect the open space available in Section 33 within the City. The concept was to develop a regional nature preserve of a substantial size that could support native plant and animal life, benefit the environment and provide passive recreational opportunities for the citizens of Mequon and Wisconsin. The intent was for OWLT to serve as the broker and secure, through ownership, property that could be restored to forest and wetlands. The plan was for OWLT to own and operate the Preserve until such time as a significant contiguous block of land could be purchased and all debt was paid. Once the property was owned free and clear ownership would be transferred to the City. |
