Terrell's Island
Restoration Project
In 1998,
the Butte des Morts Conservation Club, with the assistance of public
contributions, and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource grant
programs, purchased 1183 acres of this habitat known as Terrell's
Island and placed it in 'public
trust' for perpetuity. In 2010 we added 18 acres bringing the
total acreage of Terrell's Island to 1201.
This wetland area has all of the basic
ingredients necessary to rebuild and restore a healthy and
productive wildlife habitat and spawning grounds for a vast variety
of marine life. The long term commitment by the
Butte des Morts Conservation Club to Conserve,
Preserve,
and
Restore the
habitat of Terrell's Island is the primary focus of the club's
efforts on Lake Butte des Morts.
Terrell's
Island is open to the public and offers a variety of educational and
recreational opportunities. It is the goal of the BDMCC to apply
CPR to this habitat so that it will
continue to provide these and many other opportunities for our
generation and generations to come.
