The Lake Erie Islands Chapter of the Black Swamp Conservancy has a New Online Store. You can support the efforts of land preservation and wildlife conservation on the Lake Erie Islands by purchasing something from our store. Kristin Sandford, aka "The Snake Lady", has selected some great items, most between $1-$4 that will make great presents, a gift for yourself perhaps, and at the same time generate needed funds for our ongoing projects.
