Somerset Township in Hillsdale County has
many waterways which can be good habitat
for wood ducks. Hillsdale County Commissioner
Ken Lautzenheiser, a member of Somerset
Township Inter-Lakes Lions Club, proposed
that the Club build nesting boxes for posting
within the Township. Art Pendley constructed a
prototype, and Curtis Gale, Jim Souder and
Dave Fowler built 15 wood duck nesting boxes.
Additional members helped install the boxes:
David Busack, Glenn Callison, Sr., Clinton
Sneary, Don Taylor and Tom Terbrueggen.
Other members allowed the boxes to be
placed on their property. This project helps
conserve wildlife and adds to the beauty of the
Township's natural environment.
