A Tribute. Carsten loved his land and cows. Dora loved her flowers and her chickens. It was Carsten's desire that their property remain undeveloped, despite numerous offers to purchase the land. Carsten and Dora would be pleased that people are enjoying the views over Silver Lake, the fields of beautiful flowers, and the wildlife that abound in the fields and woodlands around Silver Lake. Jorgens Park Preserve is a wonderful opportunity for adults and children to experience peace and serenity while being close to nature. In memory of Carsten and Dora.
