Historical Note
The Citizens to Save Little Presque Isle and Wetmore Landing formed in 1991 as a grassroots environmental protection activist group that worked prevent the development of Little Presque Isle and Wetmore landing into an organized campground managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Both locations are in northern Marquette County. The group argued that the construction and use of public campgrounds would have an irreversible, destructive affect on the area's fragile ecosystem.
