"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Girl Scouts to protect Camp Cuesta. Our common goal of preservation has resulted in a productive and positive relationship."
- Emily Wood, Executive Director
Door County Land Trust is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement to purchase Camp Cuesta from the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes to permanently conserve the land while maintaining the Camp Cuesta's tradition as a Girl Scout camp.
A generous donor will match every donation to the Land Acquisition Fund to help protect Camp Cuesta. Donate before September 30 to have your donation matched!
“Wanting to protect Camp Cuesta from development and having the funds to protect it are two very different issues,” said Wood, while talking about the steps to completing the purchase. “But we know there is a deep love of this place by the community. We’re counting on their support.”
The Land Trust must raise $420,000 through community donations to purchase the property. The Land Trust is calling on the community and their deep attachment to this landmark with an invitation to donate toward a $50,000 matching gift challenge offered by a generous Land Trust supporter.
