Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy (KNC) in Williams Bay marked its 33rd
anniversary on June 24 with a celebration party in the Green Vine Wine Room at
Green Grocer & Deli in downtown Williams Bay.

Those joining in the celebration included Kishwauketoe board members and
volunteers, as well as community neighbors. A total of 46 people attended the
2-hour event.

American Groundnut, also known as Potato Bean, Cinnamon Vine, Indian Potato and
Hopniss, blooms in a wetland area on the 231-acre Kishwauketoe Nature
Conservancy preserve in Williams Bay.

Eric Johnson

Sponsors of the milestone celebration event were Green Grocer & Deli, the
Williams Bay Business Association/Discover Williams Bay, and First National Bank
and Trust Co.



Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy encompasses a 231-acre campus featuring a
variety of habitats including woodlands, wetlands, marshes, wet and dry
prairies, wet meadows, oak openings and an 8-acre arboretum. Kishwauketoe is
home to 386 different plants, as well as a variety of birds, animals and
insects. Two wetland-cleansed creeks, Harris and Southwick, run through
Kishwauketoe, part of a 20-square-mile watershed feeding into Geneva Lake,
considered one of the top 25 most beautiful lakes in the U.S. The Geneva Lake
Conservancy’s Helen Rohner Children’s Fishing Park preserve adjoins
Kishwauketoe.

“This anniversary would not have been possible if Kishwauketoe had not been
rescued from multiple development attempts over the years and finally acquired
by the Village of Williams Bay in 1990 to be preserved as a conservancy area
never to be developed for the children of tomorrow,” said Friends of
Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy board member Sue Vandenbroucke. “Its 231 acres
are open 365 days a year to be enjoyed by all. Take a hike on its groomed trails
by yourself or on a Friday guided walk with Harold Friestad, or plant
identification walk with botanist Josh Skolnik. Enjoy nature in this peaceful
haven, observing the work volunteers have accomplished by removing invasive
species and replacing them with native trees, grass and wild flowers. Volunteers
are always needed and donations are always welcome, as no tax dollars help fund
Kishwauketoe.”



Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy's 33rd anniversary celebration event on June 24

The anniversary celebration, a smaller event held in lieu of the
pandemic-cancelled 30th anniversary fete, was organized by Kishwauketoe Events
Planning Committee members Marianne Bonifacic, Cindy Stuhley and Sue
Vandenbroucke.



“It was a gathering of people that enjoy Kishwauketoe and support it,”
Vandenbrouke said of the anniversary celebration. “We had real nice door prizes
we gave to people who were in attendance. It was very well attended and enjoyed
by everybody there.”



Among the speakers was Kishwauketoe founder and board chairman Harold Friestad.

“He’s been running Kishwauketoe for the 33 years it’s been in existence,”
Vandenbrouke said. “It was he and several other village members that
single-handedly saved Kishwauketoe from developers. They wanted to put hundred
of homes and a resort in there. It sure wouldn’t be the same area it is now. It
(Kishwauketoe) is one of the prime sources for clean water for Geneva Lake. It’s
a watershed area for the lake which provides most of the clean water for the
lake. And no tax dollars support Kishwauketoe. It’s totally supported by
donations and run by a very small staff, Harold and Jenn Yunker, and the rest
are volunteers that work diligently to get rid of the invasive species and plant
native plants, flowers and trees.”




Vandenbrouke said the anniversary celebration also served as a small fundraising
event in support of thishwauketoe Natural Conservance and as a preview for
Kishwauketoe’s nine annual fundraising Kishwauketoe 5K Run/Walk, held July 1 on
the 231-acre Kishwauketoe campus.



Tiny yet also mighty important, Harris Creek and Southwick Creek (pictured here
emptying into Geneva Lake) play a vital role in maintaining the high water
quality of Geneva Lake, numbered among the top 25 lakes in the nation. Passing
through 231-acre Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy in Williams Bay, the two creeks
filter water from a 20-mile watershed through the conservancy’s wetlands, with
millions of gallons flowing into Geneva Lake daily.

1990 purchase of the land comprising 231-acre Kishwauketoe for preservation in
perpetuity as a lakeside ecological area. Recalls Friestad, “A lot of different
groups tried to redevelop the property. All of that could have had a very
negative impact on the lake. Everything would have been totally changed with
major development.”
