Kishwauketoe
has the support of numerous civic groups, who
have contributed to the projects and to our
volunteers who have supplied many, many hours
of labor and loving care.
It was
“established to insure the protection of this
fragile (Geneva Lake) shore land-wetland area
for future generations.” KNC has dedicated the
Conservancy to The Children of Tomorrow.
Preserving and enhancing the natural characteristics of the property have been foremost in our stewardship. Providing a place for learning and recreation are also primary goals. Here preservation and education are intertwined. For example the arboretum unifies two existing woods while providing examples for tree identification and study.

HISTORY
For a number of years Williams Bay had been declining development proposals that would have had a detrimental impact on Williams Bay and Geneva Lake. In 1989, following a citizen outcry regarding another more extensive project, the Williams Bay Board took the initiative and purchased this site for preservation and created the Kishwauketoe Nature Conservancy.
