Little Muskego Lake Association Pledges $50,000 to Borst Property

Howard Schneider told the Common Council Tuesday night that the Little Muskego Lake Association has always been committed to the health of the lake, and extended its support to the land that has been called "environmentally significant" to the lake.

LMLA presented a check for $5,000 to the city to "help out Conservation Coordinator Tom Zagar, because he's got a lot of work to do at the land there," association member Schneider said.

The Baedetscher preserve is part of the Borst property, which the city recently closed on purchasing for approximately $1 million. The land rests west of Racine Avenue and is part of the Little Muskego Lake watershed. The 100-acre site features environmentally desirable oak savannahs as well as a creek that leads to the Linnie Lac and Jewel creeks that feed into the lake.
