- Island Woods Preserve. Island Woods Preserve is a 40 acre preserve located on the Lauderdale Lakes and is owned by KMLT. This preserve has hiking trail open to the public, with a bench that overlooks one of our deepest kettles, and it has our paved Overlook that provides a splendid view of another kettle on the property.
- Jackson Creek Preserve. Jackson Creek Preserve is located along Jackson Creek, just east of Highway 67 and south of Elkhorn. The creek flows east to west through the property and then through a culvert located under Highway 67 to Delavan Lake. This preserve protects native prairie/fen and provides a view of beautiful native flowers for the community. It comprises 9.4 acres of wetland south of Jackson Creek and 12.9 acres on the north side. The parcel also includes 1.1 acres of upland old field.
- Beulah Bog. Kettle Moraine Land Trust adopted Beulah Bog under the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin Adopt-A-Natural Area Program in 2009. Under this program KMLT has agreed to work to restore and manage this very special State Natural Area.
- Delavan Lake Watershed. KMLT has partnered with the newly formed Delavan Lake Watershed Initiative Network to develop a conservation plan for the Delavan Lake Watershed that will help protect the health of Delavan Lake.
- Lauderdale Lakes County Club. KMLT holds a 57 acre conservation easement covering the Lauderdale Lakes Country Club located on the Lauderdale lakes. The conservation easement permanently protects the golf course from future development and it protects a shoreline wetland.
- North Lake Conservation Easement. KMLT protects over one and a half acres of shoreline along North Lake with a conservation easement. Owners of the property wanted to assure the permant protection of their hill prairie remnant along the shore.
Land trusts are in the business of land conservation. Land conservation can be costly, even for land or conservation easement donations. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit land conservation organization, KMLT must use its limited financial resources effectively. To do so, KMLT has developed specific criteria to rank potential projects to guide which projects meet our conservation goals and are financially feasible. Your financial contributions to KMLT help us in this effort. Protecting and restoring native ecosystems, and preserving Walworth County's rural character will benefit many.
