BAYFIELD COUNTY - A 132-acre forest known as the Mabel Cora Maxwell Nature Study Area will remain undeveloped following Northland College’s closure in 2025. Landmark Conservancy purchased the property for $448,000, using funding from several conservation partners. The land was then transferred to Bayfield County for management, to join the adjacent White River Fishery Area. The property will remain open for public activities, including hiking, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, while protecting forest, wildlife habitat, and water quality.
