An area long used for recreation and crucial for water quality in Lake Wesserunsett could soon be conserved through a partnership between two local groups. Somerset Woods Trustees, a land trust that owns several preserves in Somerset County, is under contract to buy 130 acres in the Black Point area of the East Madison lake. The land trust is working with the Lake Wesserunsett Association to raise $300,000, for the purchase. The two groups are aiming to raise $350,000 to cover other costs like surveys and appraisals and to start a stewardship fund for future care of the property.
