Lake and State Park Threatened by Golf Course AGAIN

Kohler is back at it threatening the ecological health of our lakeshore.

Friends of the Black River Forest scored a major victory in preserving a Lake Michigan Coastal ecosystem. The Kohler Company's permit to devastate an ecologically significant landscape using state park land was revoked in 2022 by an Administrative Law Judge with a Wisconsin Circuit Court affirming the revocation.

Now, the same threats are here with Kohler receiving passes from the City for a different course. Contaminatiorryn of the Lake and groundwater, deforestation of a 180+ acres of Black River Forest including an old growth stand, fragmenting an Important Bird Area and Migratory Bird stopover are just some of the destruction. The bulldozing of Native American burial sites and remnants of their habitation in this area is unconscionable.

We have been at this for 14 years and we will not give up trying to preserve this fragile, important Lake Michigan landscape and Kohler Andrae State Park which will be negatively impacted by this course.

To continue to hold the Kohler Company, the City of Sheboygan and the DNR to the law once again, we are asking for your support. In this time when people all over the planet are planting trees and conserving water, let's send a message to a billion dollar company that we won't put up with destroying our planet to indulge their vanity projects.
