GLC Acquires Powell Springs

The Green Lake Conservancy has recently acquired Powell Springs, a heavily-wooded property, located near Mitchell Glen on the Southeast ridge of Green Lake. This property is home to one of the largest springs feeding Green Lake, Powell Spring, and will soon give local residents and visitors another place of public access to enjoy its natural beauty. To do this, we need your support to help assist in the purchase cost of the property and restore the land back to its natural state.
