The LaLuzerne property in De Pere features ver one hundred species of native trees and shrubs and dozens of native grasses, flowers and water plants that have been planted over a 36 year period on what was a once barren corn field. With a stream, pond and lake added by the owners, their family has enjoyed years of relaxation and recreation in a beautiful setting that has been evolving over the years.
Who wouldn't want to be a guest in this "guest house" with a view of the nearby pond? |
The 7 acre Mead property on the west edge of Green Bay has 2 acres of prairie. The prairie was planted in 1996 and is maintained by mowing each spring. There is a small wetland and creek. Native trees planted include tamarack, eastern red cedar, basswood, paper birch, locust, aspen, red maple and red and white oak.
Down a long winding drive a turkey waits to greet us! |
A mowed trail system allows visitors to wander through the property. |
Coneflowers seem to be a butterfly favorite |
