August 2022 - Tour at the De Pere property of Jim and Sandy LaLuzerne
|
|
Touring this remarkable property is a rare opportunity to see a living example of how much can be done to re-create a native habitat. Not only does this property have hundreds of different flowers, grasses, water plants, sedges, and ferns, but it also has over 160 different species of woody trees, shrubs, and vines—the vast majority being species native to the local area. It is a haven for birds, butterflies, and wildlife of all kinds.
The original five-acre lot was a barren cornfield. In 1976, Sandi and Jim LaLuzerne began with the plan to return every species that might have been on the property. This required creating a half-acre pond with flowing water features. Eventually 18 additional contiguous acres were added and over two miles of trails were established. This informal and friendly space, with many benches and vistas, illustrates what can be done with perseverance, “intelligent tinkering” and some help from Mother Nature. It is not a preservation, but is a re-creation that looks like it was always there. This property has been on the Garden Walk sponsored by the Green Bay Botanical Garden, a winner of The Gardeners Club of Green Bay’s Silver Trowel Award, a tour destination for many gardening and environmental clubs, and is a Certified Natural Habitat.
