The 10-acre home and farmstead complex including the late 1800s barn is not part of the conservation easement. At some point, it will be sold to a lucky buyer.

Rennie and Esther built the newer yellow house, moving in in 1952, when Fred was seven. 9 United in Desire to Protect “Certain things are Fragile Hatlem Creek worth saving.” For everyone who loves Glen Lake and its clean, azure waters, here’s some great news. A close-knit family - Brandt Waldenmyer with a passion for the lake has sold 32 acres, including 1,400 feet of frontage along fragile Hatlem Creek, to the Leelanau Conservancy. The land will be added to our lovely Hatlem Creek Preserve, increasing it to a total of 72 acres, and will help to ensure Glen Lake’s pristine water quality forever. That’s because Hatlem Creek and the sensitive wetlands surrounding it provide an important source of fresh water to Glen Lake; in fact it is the lake’s main tributary. The federally endangered Michigan Monkey Flower grows on the property, thriving in wet, mucky soils where cool waters flow. Hatlem Creek is also a wildlife haven; state- threatened red-shouldered hawks nest in the closed forest canopy and trout and salmon spawn in the stream. Gordon and Jann Waldenmyer overlook the now protected land from their log home, built in 1996, and they retain several acres adjacent to the Preserve. The family’s ties to Glen Lake go back to Jann’s parents, who discovered the area in the late 1920s after being invited up by a friend. They purchased Sunset Cottage from the Vlack family in 1947 and Jann and her sister spent summers on the lake. Later, she and Gordon brought their children north from Ypsilanti for vacations. Son Brandt was just six days old when his toes were first dipped into Big Glen; daughter Carrlin Neiss, who was born in the winter, had to wait six months as the cottage was not then compatible with Leelanau’s winter winds. The Waldenmyers, knowing they wanted to eventually make a permanent home near Glen Lake, found the land along Hatlem Creek in the 1980s and began plans to build. Meanwhile, Jann and her sister shared Sunset Cottage after her parents died, but ever-increasing taxes 10 and advancing age led them to sell in the early 2000s. United in Desire to Protect Today, Brandt lives with his 80-something parents; Carrlin and her husband own a home and five acres Hatlem Creek: Why it Matters Fragile Hatlem Creek adjacent.

Gordon was wary at first; Jann was without reservations. But as they saw more and more land being developed, Gordon came around. “Man can’t do what Mother Nature does, the way I look at it,” he says. Conservation Easement Program Manager Yarrow Brown, who worked with the family over the last few years, calls it a “feel good project for both the land and the people, and a piece of the bigger picture for land protection in the Hatlem Creek subwatershed.” The Above: Gordon and Jann Waldenmyer stand in Waldenmyer property adjoins protected land owned by front of the new addition that expands Hatlem Creek Preserve. the VanZoeren family, who graciously granted them an access easement they needed in order to meet county Opposite page: Cool and clean Hatlem Creek. regulations to sell the Conservancy the property. “No Photo by Brandt Waldenmyer. matter what happens, the family will always be able to hike and enjoy the new preserve, as they always have.” Top photo: A red-shoulder hawk builds a nest.

13 Leelanaus’ Clean Water

“The one thing that binds us together and assures our economic vitality is water. If we lost our quality of water, or even if there was a perception of the loss of our quality of water, we would lose an enormous amount of our appeal. It would affect our property values, our lifestyle and our economy. What if we were to put together a group of people from all of the different organizations that have to do with water quality, determine a baseline of what is being done and then come up with a vision of how to ensure that future generations will enjoy the kind of water quality that we do?” — County Commissioner Bob Hawley at the very first “Leelanau Clean Water” (LCW) meeting in 2008 Photo by Maria Garcia Bulkley
