1994 Press Photo Thomas Jefferson Middle School students study-Wittmann property

This is the time of year to be outdoor, which is what some students were doing the other day at the Wittmann property in Port Washington. The 24-acre parcel had been destined for development, but conservationists organized to buy the land for a preserve. The site was acquired for $380,000 by the Ozaukee Land Trust. Most of the money came from private donors. Above: Laurel Bart, Kate MacRae and Tom Detriech look over a maple tree they have selected to study. The pupils, all 11, are part of John Berken's fifth grade class at Thomas Jefferson Middle School in the Port Washington-Saukville School District.
