Happy New Year!

As we look back at 2021, we are thankful for your support and generosity! With your help, we were able to start the process of improving accessibility at our preserves by adding parking lots, trails, and working to improve our signage. The purchase of The Community Forest was truly a community effort and provided many additional opportunities for conservation, outdoor education, and recreation. The community came together for the Charlie Berens Comedy Show which helped raise funds for local groups and supported the work of accessibility at our preserves.

In December, we had the opportunity to finalize a new conservation easement thanks to wonderful landowners who have been incredible stewards of their land. We also had a conservation easement holder add additional acreage to their easement!

We look forward to KRLT's next chapter and the possibilities of 2022!

After three impactful years, KRLT’s Executive Di

After three impactful years, KRLT’s Executive Director, Charlene Simonson, has stepped down to take a position with The Nature Conservancy. Under Charlene’s leadership, KRLT successfully purchased a new preserve called The Community Forest that permanently protected over 40 acres, extended public trails, and provided access to the once landlocked School Forest. She helped KRLT strengthen conservation efforts, improve outdoor education opportunities in the community, create a vision for the future of the organization, as well as countless other successes. We are saddened to see her leave but are happy for her and this wonderful opportunity!

In the coming weeks, we will begin the initial process of hiring for KRLT’s new Executive Director. For questions, please contact us at 715-425-5738 or info@kinniriver.org.

UPDATE: The fridge and freezer have been picked up

UPDATE: The fridge and freezer have been picked up and will be disposed of properly! Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who took the time to help with this and to Pierce County Recycling Center! ❤🌿

Volunteers needed!! Sometimes the reality of having public spaces is that people abuse them. A fridge and freezer were dumped at Drewiske Preserve near the parking lot. We, unfortunately, don’t have a truck on hand and are looking for volunteers to pick up the items and bring them to Pierce County Recycling Solid Waste and Recycling in Ellsworth, WI. They have offered to take the fridge and freezer for free but we need help getting them there. Please contact the KRLT office at 715-425-5738 if you are interested in helping with this.
