We ask the DNR to DENY the Kohler Company's request to build a private maintenance shed on over 12 acres of public land. The DNR must tell the Kohler Company they can NOT destroy wetlands, bulldoze rare dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline, clear cut over 125 acres of forest and use public lands for a private, for-profit, Golf course. The DNR must NOT set a precedent of stealing land from Wisconsin residents and giving to the highest bidder. We are requesting the Wisconsin DNR to PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND PRESERVE WISCONSIN'S PUBLIC LANDS. 309 Comments Name Location Date Comment Debra Desmoulin Sheboygan, WI 2014-07-01 In France, everyone has access to nature. We walk the miles and miles of forest there every year. Here we have to beg to keep the tiniest parcel of pristine paradise. Everything has to be developed and generate profits here. But then we ask why our children have no zest for life. They are deprived from what makes life worth living.
