Abstract:

Papers of conservationist and environmental activist Alfred Krampert, an insurance executive from Kenosha, Wis., documenting his involvement with the Wisconsin Chapter of the Nature Conservancy and its local organization, the Kenosha-Racine County Project Committee. The papers primarily reflect efforts to preserve the Chiwaukee Prairie, a small stretch of virgin prairie located in southeastern Kenosha County. There is also information relating to other preserves, such as Hawthorn Hollow Nature Sanctuary, the Peat Lake Wildlife Area, Ranger Mac's Fen, and Renak Woods Scientific Area, as well as a file on the Second Midwest Prairie Conference (1970). Included in the collection are clippings (documenting the land use controversy surrounding Chiwaukee Prairie); correspondence; minutes of meetings; reports; newsletters; maps; a reference file containing reprints of articles about prairie preservation and more general environmental topics; and speeches made by Mr. Krampert. There is also a small file of clippings and correspondence concerning his other civic activities.
