High Trees
Estate
The Geneva Lake Conservancy and Marjorie Friedman worked together to complete this estate donation in 2024.
The 67-acre estate 'High Trees' was owned by Marjorie, Chicago's first female news anchor, and her late husband Richard Friedman, an internationally renowned attorney.
​
It is located in the LuLu Lake State Natural Area near East Troy. High Trees is an extraordinary example of a rare Kettle Moraine landscape with oak woodlands, kettles and a rolling topography of drumlins, ridges and other unique Kettle Moraine features left by glaciers thousands of years ago.
​
Educational Tours
The Conservancy will manage the property to support the more than 500 wildlife species that need its unique habitat to survive, we will also be offering several tours each year to the public, scout groups, schools and others interested.
