Shirley Heinze Land Trust : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shirley Heinze Land Trust The Shirley Heinze Land Trust, originally known as the Shirley Heinze Environmental Fund, is a land trust dedicated to the preservation of natural areas in Northwest Indiana. The Trust manages more than 1,300 acres of protected land in the three Indiana counties that adjoin Lake Michigan. Its preserves include a wide range of dune, wetland, prairie, and forest ecosystems. Due to the heavily developed nature of the Calumet Region, many of the Trust's parcels are entirely surrounded by industrial or residential development. Many of the preserves were severely degraded when first acquired, and the Trust has engaged in a wide range of restoration activities in order to restore them to ecological viability. The Trust's preserves include five designated Indiana Nature Preserves,〔 some of which were purchased with funds from the Indiana Heritage Trust. ==History== The trust was established in 1981 by an endowment from Mr. & Mrs. Robert L. Seidner.〔 The Trust was named to honor Dr. Shirley Heinze, a resident of Ogden Dunes whose efforts helped preserve the Indiana Dunes.
