North Bass Island, OH

      

Most of North Bass Island, one of Lake Erie’s last undeveloped islands, is now protected thanks to the critical support of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. The Conservation Fund facilitated negotiations between private landowners and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to safeguard the 600 acres of the island, including its uncommon coastal resources and sensitive wetlands.
