"We set out to save a square mile dotted with woods and restored wetlands less than a mile from a million people’s homes. But how do you come up with funding quickly enough to save this treasure from the pressure of development? The answer… the Stewardship Fund."
-Christine Nuernberg, Mayor of Mequon
