6 — Acknowledgement — This publication has been an evolving and collaborative effort since its early beginning in July of 1997. The result represents many generously given volunteer hours, numerous regularly scheduled meetings and considerable give and take by everyone involved. No one individual or organization was in control, rather the process can best be characterized in the spirit of shared leadership and shared responsibility. Many of those participating have affiliations with local, state and federal agencies and conservation organizations but have given of their energies and time as individuals concerned about the future of wildlife habitat and natural landscapes on the Door Peninsula. Their professional association should not be perceived as an endorsement by those agencies or organizations of the work presented here.

Special Recognition Since its early beginnings these individuals have given many hours to this project. Their agencies, institutions and organizations are each recognized for having allowed them to work on this important project: Bay Lake Regional Planning Commission Door County Environment Council Door Property Owners, Inc. Door County Planning Department Door County Soil & Water Conservation Department The Door County Land Trust The Door County Land Use Forum The Nature Conservancy United States Fish & Wildlife Service University of Wisconsin-Extension University of Wisconsin Green Bay Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bay Lake Regional Planning Commission has provided natural area site maps and the many seemingly unending revisions as the project unfolded. The Bureau of Endangered Resources of the Department of Natural Resources has provided considerable assistance in the inventory of plants and animals in many parts of the county. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been especially helpful in seeking out and securing the financial resources provided by Peterson Builders, Inc. to employ a project coordinator during the past year to pull everything together for this publication. UW-Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources have helped underwrite printing expenses. The pen and ink drawings that are found throughout this publication are the works of nature artist Chris Baird, of Minneapolis MN. Charles Bradley, Sr., husband of Nina Leopold Bradley drew the sketch of the Leopold Shack shown on page 17. Richard Follmer piloted his flying machine and allowed us to take many of the aerial photographs you’ll see in this guide and his generosity is very much appreciated. Numerous photographers are recognized with credits along side their work and we thank them collectively for their contribution. A very special thanks to Ms. Coleen Feucht, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay Campus, who has acted as the project coordinator. She has been a tremendous asset in helping to finalize the guide. Serigraph, Inc., of West Bend, Wisconsin generously contributed the printing of the front and back cover pages. Roy Aiken, coordinated the final revisions, edited, and prepared the publication for printing. – Acknowledgements -- 7
