KLT Forums Start April 9; Community Survey Available
The public is invited to participate in the development of Keweenaw Land Trust (KLT) conservation priorities by taking an online survey and by attending community forums. The community forums are free and open to the public: Tuesday, April 9th – Houghton High School Multi-Purpose Room; Thursday, April 11th – Horizons Alternative High School Gym in Mohawk; Wednesday, April 17th – CJ Sullivan Elementary School cafeteria in L’Anse. All forums 6:30 to 8:00 PM, refreshments provided.
As a community partner, the KLT needs to know the perspectives and values of the community that are relevant to land conservation and important for quality of life. Having up-to-date Conservation Priority Themes will allow the KLT to do its work efficiently, to be prepared for opportunities, and to set goals for conserving special lands and land uses valued by our community.
Examples of conservation priorities could include public access for outdoor recreation and education, habitat protection to support fishing and hunting, protection of scenic vistas and important cultural sites, maintaining natural areas for wildlife, and forest management to support the local timber economy, among many others. The online survey is available at www.KeweenawLandTrust.org
Please bring friends and family to the forums as we build a shared vision for our region. Call 482-0820 for information or email nathan@keweenawlandtrust.org.
