Leelanau Conservancy Conserving the Land, Water and Scenic Character of Leelanau County

2013 Annual Report and Spring 2014 Newsletter Leelanau Forever: Protecting This Place We Love n late November, the Leelanau Enterprise featured our IClay Cliffs Natural Area project on its front page. The Conservancy, along with Leland Township, had just finalized the purchase of this unbelievably beautiful 104-acre property, with 1,700 feet of frontage on both Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau. We loved the Enterprise story headline which shouted, “Ours!” along with a beautiful photo. When you think about it, the word “Ours” pretty much sums up all of the natural areas we have preserved for public enjoyment. Houdek Dunes, DeYoung, Chippewa Run, the Lake Leelanau Narrows, Swanson Preserve, Crystal River just to name a few…and now, Clay Cliffs. These special places are all collectively “Ours.” They are ours to enjoy, to find wonder in, to explore with our families. In our 25-year history, we have also protected thousands of acres of private lands and working farms with a legal tool called a conservation easement. We can’t call these places “Ours,” but there’s no denying that everyone who loves Leelanau is the beneficiary when important farm and natural lands are protected. Private protected lands give us some of the most stunning roadside views, they protect our water quality and wildlife, and they produce the local foods we all adore. Finalizing the Clay Cliffs purchase was just a part of a record-breaking 25th Anniversary year. In 2013 we protected an impressive 912 acres, bringing our 25-year total to nearly 11,000 acres. Public support was at an all-time high, with over 4,000 donors. More people went on docent-led hikes and participated in workbees than ever before. We’re grateful that we had the opportunity to celebrate our 25th milestone with many of you at these events as well as our Speaker Series and the Annual Picnic—attended by over 800 people. What follows (on page 4) is a summary of our 2013 accomplishments. Together, our Leelanau Conservancy staff, board, volunteers and generous donors are ensuring that the Ken Scott natural lands and working farms that define the essence of Our newest and, some would say, most spectacular Natural Area—Clay Cliffs! Leelanau will endure. Thank you for helping to ensure that the Leelanau you love will remain for future generations. Chairman’s Message

 Thoughts From Our Executive Director

Mid-Winter Reflections moonlight over deep snow. - 2014 In this old-fashioned winter it is not too difficult to esterday evening I returned home to do what I have seemingly connect with what Conservancy founder Ed Collins once called Ydone countless times this winter: I plowed the driveway of the “peninsular mindset.” For me, having just returned from its accumulating snow, then I loaded a ladder on to the back a five-day swing through southern Florida–a place very much of my pickup intending to spend the last half hour or so before concerned with today’s world with today’s problems and today’s nightfall shoveling the roof of one of my farm sheds. fashions–the feeling was more acute than usual. In Leelanau we are of both worlds, brushing off the satellite dish and turning on the iPad after we come in from shoveling snow from roofs that have miraculously withstood the snows of 80 winters. The sense that Leelanau is something of “a place apart” is easier to grasp in February than it is in July. Here, the past is closer to the surface of everyday life. We see and cherish the long view across water, the same night skies, the barn that has survived decades of punishment from the elements. Familiar landscapes occupy a unique and comforting place in our lives. The preservation of such landscapes has informed a large part of the mission of the Leelanau Conservancy. And it is fitting, after 25 years in pursuit of that mission, to reflect on the long- term consequences: what is the greater meaning of our work,Scott Ken and how will the Leelanau Peninsula be different because we My lumber shed is perhaps eight decades old.

Roof collapse was imminent. We shored this old building up with cables, cleared the roof of snow, and then added new collar ties made of brand new two by sixes. The shed is not worth much in dollars, but to me it matters. Not only because shoring up this building was one of the first projects that my brother and I tackled after buying our farm back in 1975, but also because the disorderly piles of lumber that are stored here are a record of our occupation of this place since then. There is aspen and black locust, red oak and white cedar, even some walnut and a dwindling supply of my favorite cherry. As I worked my way across the roof, first the back side and then the front, removing only the top couple feet of snow and sliding it over the edge, I calculated that there was perhaps nutrients that remain locked in the soil rather than entering our upward of ten tons of snow on the rickety old shed.

Read about this project on page 12. Four Family Farms Protected in 2013 2013 was an outstanding year for preserving our farming heritage. We completed four farm projects totaling 383 acres and secured funding as well in 2013 that will help to protect four more farms totaling an additional 688 acres! To date, nearly 5,000 acres of farmland have been conserved by the Leelanau Conservancy.

Executive Director Message

Thoughts from Executive Director, Continued appreciate this place, sometimes above all other places. People who love Leelanau seem to have a particularly keen sense of landscape, and a heightened appreciation of the beauty in nature. Landscape is often thought of as connoting fixity, scenery, a static and immobile beauty. In the words of the nature writer Robert MacFarlane, this view of landscape harkens back to the original meaning in 16th century Holland of the word “landschap,” which was strongly associated with the Dutch school of painting. MacFarlane believes that landscape should be considered in a broader context well beyond its “painterly” origins. Rather than being static and unchanging, landscapes should be thought of as “dynamic and commotion causing, it sculpts and shapes us not only over the courses of our lives but also instant by instant, incident by incident.” It seems to me that people who care deeply about a place are more fully human than the harried and hassled multitudes in our society. I have many times heard of the rituals performed by our summer residents as they return each year from the places where they live and work. They push through some boundary in the return to the familiar scenery and familiar routines of summer. They may always follow the same route to the family place, whether or not it is still the quickest way, always pausing to admire the distant view of the lake. Or they may, upon arrival, always follow the same footpath to a spring in the woods, dip their toes in the lake, or watch the sunset over the lake from the same spot where they have watched hundreds of sunsets. I believe the meaning of our work is somehow wrapped up in a

simple proposition: we are better people when we care about Ken Scott Ken and take care of a place that has great meaning for us. And we feel better about ourselves if we take care to gain some measure MacFarlane is right that landscapes are not cherished of influence over how these cherished landscapes evolve into works of art that hang on the wall. We are at our best when we the future, despite the inevitable hubbub and commotion of the work together to preserve the beauty and integrity of places that ever-changing landscape. have great meaning in our lives, working together to manage and deflect the flow of inevitable change. The work of the Conservancy can be quantified in the language of science, and it should be. But the meaning of that work is better told in the story of the impact of landscape on a little girl finding her way in the world (see Zane Schwaiger’s article on page 10), in the careful husbandry of productive land by generations of farmers, or in the crescent moon rising above a silent snowscape.

 There was little I loved more than my dog and the woods

Why It Matters by Zane Schwaiger ’m sure each one of you has your own Leelanau Love story. I Iwould like to share mine with you. My parents met at The Homestead in the summer of 1970. My Mom was from Cincinnati and my Dad was from East Lansing, and they were both “up north” to work for the summer. Their love story started in Leelanau -- and perhaps because of that, after they were married they always wanted to move here for good. But it took them a while to realize their dream. Although they came up on summer vacations for many years, it wasn’t until 1992 -- twenty-two years after they’d met -- that they bought a home overlooking Good Harbor Bay. My parents had settled in Leelanau at last; they were here to stay. And so they gave us, my siblings and me, the gift of growing up in Leelanau. I was 10 years old when we moved. There was little I loved more then than my dog and the woods. Zane’s daughter, Amabel, enjoys the land Zane knew as a young girl. My parents owned a modest two acres at the base of the gardens lined the rock walls and the edges of the house. The hills. But our land was surrounded by hundreds more acres of fields were newly mowed and the gravel drive well maintained. It wild places. And pretty much as soon as we’d settled in to our was picture perfect and so very still. new home, my brothers and I started to explore. It was as if I had stumbled upon the scene of a favorite There was the meadow in front of our house that stretched childhood story . . . and I was completely taken. down to orchard land; there was the National Park land beyond After my first glimpse of the farm, I went back again and that; and, of course, there was the beach. again -- lurking on the edges, wondering who lived there and But for me it was the woods. The woods held the greatest hoping I’d find clues. Then one morning, as I stepped out of appeal. I could walk behind our house, disappear up the valley the forest darkness into the clearing, I saw a man on a tractor, into the woods, and explore for hours. Day after day. While mowing. my brothers climbed trees and built forts, I walked up and down I waited until he saw me and then I waved.

Gene says that John is like the son he never had. After his stroke, he asked John to serve as his power of attorney—a role that John takes very seriously. Although John shares Gene’s love for the land he wasn’t sure that selling a conservation easement on it was in Gene’s best interests at the time. “Gene kept talking about it, but I saw the real estate market dropping,” says John. “I wanted to honor his wishes but also to look out for his finances.

Dorothy Mays Ives, 95, recorded her memories of a 1937 summer spent on the island when she was 19. She was hired by a Harvard Professor named Ustick to help with household chores at his home on Gull Island. What follows are some excerpts. Visit leelanauconservancy. org to read the entire piece.

Young Farmer Makes Swanson Farm His Life’s Work

armer Ben Brown often thumbs through a stack of Fphotos given to him by a farm stand customer. The photos were taken in 2005, at a time when the iconic yellow farm stand was overflowing with Sonny Swanson’s fresh produce. “Sonny was doing a lot of things right,” says Ben, who took over farming the land in 2011. For those readers unfamiliar with the Swanson Farm and Preserve, here’s the background. At the time the Conservancy purchased the 96-acre Swanson property in 2010, we had two goals. One was to protect the 2,000 feet of natural shoreline on Little Traverse Lake and the fragile wetlands here. We set aside 83 acres for the Preserve, and last summer welcomed visitors to explore a gorgeous trail and boardwalk that leads to the lakeshore. The second goal was to revitalize the adjacent 13-acre farmstead. The yellow farm stand and the man who once tended One of our goals in purchasing the Swanson Preserve was to see farming return. it for decades—the beloved Sonny Swanson—were integral to clover and grasses are replacing the invasive species that had the scenic character and local history of the Little Traverse Lake taken over the fallow farm fields.

Good Harbor Bay Watershed Plan: Input Needed! he Good Harbor Bay Watershed is one of the largest Twatersheds in Leelanau County. It includes Lime, Little Traverse, Bass, and School Lakes as well as all streams, creeks and wetlands that eventually flow into Good Harbor Bay-Lake Michigan. The watershed does not yet have a Watershed Protection Plan approved by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Why does this matter? DEQ/EPA-approved watershed plans allow stakeholders and organizations to apply for funding for various tasks outlined in the watershed plan including outreach and education, best management practices, etc. What goes into a watershed plan? The goal is to describe the watershed and to identify goals and tasks to maintain and improve watershed health for future generations. A Steering Committee was formed in 2012 and is working with multiple stakeholders (Leelanau Conservancy, National Park Service, State and Local Governments, Lake Associations, etc.) to create a viable plan that will meet both state and federal requirements. We need your input to help set our priorities, goals and action plans. The GHB watershed committee will have a draft plan to review by early summer 2014 and hopes to submit a final draft for review to the DEQ by fall 2014. There will be a public hearing where anyone can comment or make suggestions for the final plan. Stay tuned for more info to come this spring. Want to get involved or learn more? Call Yarrow Wolfe at the Leelanau Conservancy, 231-256-9665 or visit leelanauconservancy.org and search Watershed Planning.

18 True Champions for the Leelanau Conservancy

A tribute to Bill and Nancy Gard ill and Nancy Gard loved Leelanau. They also loved working Bhard to save their cherished Leelanau, and served as true champions for the Leelanau Conservancy. Bill and Nancy worked on some of our earliest projects – Leland Village Green, Houdek Dunes and Lake Leelanau Narrows. They also worked tirelessly to ensure the protected lands would be cared for in perpetuity, giving many gifts to the Conservancy’s endowment in memory of friends and relatives, and by establishing a Charitable Remainder Unitrust to benefit the Leelanau Conservancy after their lifetimes. In 1995, the Gards joined with John & Jean Watkins and Dr. Robert & Virginia Willard to protect over 115 acres of forested dune land in northern Leland Township. At the time, Bill Gard said, “We’ve had the pleasure of walking and skiing over the property for the past 35 years. We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the Conservancy to preserve the discussed their decision in a Conservancy newsletter: environmental assets of the property for all time, and assure that “Nancy and I had just about decided we would do a future generations will also experience the pleasures which we Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT).

Conserving the Land, Water and Scenic Character of Leelanau County

Send in your photos! If you’ve taken a photo lately that answers the question “Why Leelanau?” email it to [email protected] so that we can add it to the Why Leelanau page of our website. We have posted over 900 images from our members that express what they think is beautiful and unique about our peninsula. We are always thrilled to receive more great photos. If you have not taken a look at Why Leelanau lately, or are far away and need a Leelanau fix, visit leelanauconservancy.org and click on the Why Leelanau tab. “Living on the other side of the country, your Why Leelanau? feature keeps me in touch with my favorite place. This picture is special for me because I am the third generation to jump off of our dock, and these kiddos are the fifth. I am glad this area is being preserved for their future.” –Dana Thomas
