Debt Retirement Success!!!!

January 3, 2017 by Molly Barritt Leave a Comment

At our Kinni Guardian event on Saturday, September 23, a member stepped up and pledged to pay off the remainder of this debt by 2017 Calendar Year End! We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us retire this debt and, ultimately, preserve three very important properties. We are now free of our burden which will enable us to carry on our Mission to preserve more land in the Kinni watershed.

Thank you!

Following are the three properties that we preserved forever:

1) Johnson Conservation Easement

 

 

196 Acres – Acquired September 2007

Diverse topography and plant/animal communities. KRLT’s acquisition enabled subsequent land swap with River Falls School District Forest designated as an accessible outdoor learning space for our children and community.

2) Manion Wildlife Area

 

 

 

 

232 Acres – Acquired October 2009

After purchase, KRLT transferred 159 Acres to WI DNR, who could better manage this special property as a wildlife area with oak savannas and goat prairies than could our small land trust. KRLT created access to our Jackson Preserve – the only public access to the lower Kinni canyon between River Falls and the St. Croix River. Open to the community year round.

3) Quarry Road Fishery & Wildlife Area

 

 

 

 


114.8 Acres – Acquired July 2010

The Quarry Road project permanently protects important Kinni river frontage and surrounding lands. This land had been slated for subdivision and development but is now open to public recreation.
