Saving Seminary Woods: 70 acres in St. Francis may be on endangered list

John Gurda in tomorrow's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Seminary Woods is 70 pristine acres of forest and wildflowers adjoining St. Francis Seminary on Milwaukee’s south lakefront.

It sits between the Seminary and the Cousins Center, the former minor seminary, then Archdiocesan headquarters.

the sex abuse scandal and its related costs have all the appearances of a bottomless pit. The Cousins Center is already on the block, and the Woods could ultimately suffer the same fate.

So there's an effort underway to purchase and preserve the property.
